MIDI file that you get can consist of several voices – up to 18. Number of voices is controlled by “Polyphony” parameter in “Pitch->MIDI” Tab of “Settings” dialog. In this case polyphony means maximal number of notes that sound simultaneously. The voices are divided by volume. The number of simultaneous notes indicated in “Polyphony” will be accepted in the output MIDI, all others will be rejected. Result file can be (and usually is) composed of several tracks. The number of tracks is not equal to “polyphony”. We are still working at making WIDI detect a real number of voices in the source file and separate them by instruments. Note: WIDI now can also combine all notes to one track regardless of their volume.
