+ <p>The voice limit setting defines how many voices should maximum
+                        be processed by the sampler at the same time. If the user
+                        triggers new notes which would exceed that voice limit, the
+                        sampler engine will react by stealing old voices for those
+                        newly triggered notes. Note that the amount of voices triggered
+                        by a new note can be larger than one and is dependent to the
+                        respective instrument and probably further criterias.
