Yoshimi can have up to 64 parts. By default these are wraped around the normal
MIDI channels, so 1, 17, 33 & 49 all respond to channel 1 messages. This was
originally implemented for Vector Control, working with up to four sounds on a
channel (similar to the Yamaha SY hardware series).
However, these have other less obvious uses. One of these is getting far more
than 16 completely independent tracks addressed by just the 16 channels. Most
tunes run with instruments having a relatively narrow pitch range, and this is
what we can make use of.
This looks also like a *very* cool and useful feature for quick
'layering'. With layaring I mean assigning more than one voice to the
same (musical) part to e.g. obtain really fat tones (something I'm
lately experimenting with) and having just one track for the part in
rosegarden.
