2. LIFo (last in, first out) (3 voices)
When all 3 voices are in use and you press a 4th key, the
last key you pressed will be replaced with this one. Hence LIFO.
It will use tied notes on the last voice.

Press CBM+D to toggel arpeggio speed 1-10
6. 3VOIces (3 voices)
All voices play simulaneosly using the same note and can have individual instruments.
Set up your instruments in the sequencer and use = (play line) to copy
instruments into sound buffer.
You can also set instruments by selecting them in sound editor.
Note that the track you are located is the voice that will be given the instrument.
To get different octaves on the instruments you will have to modify the
wavform program (00 0c 18 24 30 48).
