When it comes to voice distribution of several active patches, it gets more complex. The system always

tries to achieve an optimal voice distribution, i.e. “fill up” each Sound engine to maximum. There is no

easy way of manually calculating the result of a multi patch configuration, but to show the principle, let’s

take a look at the following example:

This example shows how the Sound engine resources are distributed when you have loaded three patches

into three S

LOT

s of Nord Modular (3 S

lit).

The following data applies for the three patches:

Patch 1, loaded into S

LOT

A, uses 30% PVA Load and 50% Σ Load. 4 voices have been requested.

Patch 2, loaded into S

LOT

B, uses 40% PVA Load and 70% Σ Load. 5 voices have been requested.

Patch 3, loaded into S

LOT

C, uses 70% PVA Load and 90% Σ Load. 2 voices have been requested.

In a multi-patch situation the distribution of Sound engine resources is made evenly between the patches

in the selected slots, and with the aim to use the Sound engines in the most optimal way. The different

Voice Areas of the patches could end up anywhere in the Sound engine(s), but always in the most optimal

combination.

In our example, Patch 1 got two voices, Patch 2 three voices and Patch 3 two voices. In another patch

combination, the result might have been totally different.
