Jeff, I think that may depend upon the particular machine.

What I would do in that situation is experiment. Shouldn't take too long to figure out what sounds best in a particular situation.

And the machine itself may have some built in "intelligent" algorithms regarding that note choice as well.


For example, there may be other control parameters besides just the chord type that the machine incorporates, such as "one up and one down" harmony, or "two down" etc. -- and that would limit the number of voices available right there.

The way to understand and be able to use ANY piece of equipment, hardware or software, is to spend some time experimenting, going through the "shakedown" runs and finding out not only what can or cannot be done, but getting that all-important "feel" for the machine. To me, that is part of the fun of these things.
