OK... I was thinking that the initial mention of the VVID would cause it creation (be that implicit or explict, though I prefer explit I think), thereafter control changes would be applied the the instantiated voice (or the NULL voice if you've run out / declined it). > > There is a difference between "turning down" (implies > > communicating) and ignoring (silent). > > "Turning down" was meant as seen from the synth implementation POV. > That is, if a synth "turns down" a voice allocation for a VVID, that > VVID just gets routed to "the NULL Voice".
