Which statement correctly describes freeing up a voice on a track?

• A. All of the above
• B. Set the track's Voice selector to OFF
• C. Deactivate the track
• D. Remove all of the track's output and send assignments

Answer: (A)

Freeing up a voice on a track means releasing one of the polyphonic voices that a software instrument is using when that track is sending MIDI to the instrument. Each active note on a multi-voice instrument consumes a voice, so to free a voice you need to stop that track from occupying one. Setting the track’s Voice selector to OFF stops that track from being allocated a voice by the instrument, directly freeing a voice. Deactivating the track prevents the track from consuming any instrument resources at all, which also releases its voice. Removing all of the track’s output and send assignments cuts off MIDI routing to the instrument, so there’s nothing for the instrument to voice, freeing the voice for other tracks. Since each of these actions reduces or eliminates the track’s use of the instrument’s polyphony, all of them can free up a voice.
