In Performance Edit, you can edit both the parameters unique to each Part (Part parameters) and parameters common to all Parts (Common parameters). In Voice Edit, you can edit the parameters that are related to the entire Voice. Voice Edit is available only for Voices assigned to the Performance Parts. When editing the Voice, make sure to store it as a User Voice separate from the Performance. Keep in mind that even when you store a Performance, the Voice parameters are not stored.

The maximum polyphony of this synthesizer is 128. When the internal tone generator block receives a number of notes exceeding the maximum polyphony, previously played notes are cut off. Keep in mind this may be especially noticeable with Voices not having decay. Furthermore, when Normal Voices that include multiple waves are used, the maximum number of simultaneous notes is less than 128. MX49/MX61 Reference Manual 10
