I'm still a bit confused over the fractional tag part of p1.
Is it handled internally as a string or number?
Is 1.1 the same as 1.10? Is 2 and 002 different? etc..

And 1.1 is the same as 1.10?

Is it an integer number and not a decimal? that must mean you take the
fractional part and multiply it get N digits? If so, what is N?

Or is it kept fractional, so that 0.2 and 0.002 actually differs?

I just did some testing, so for the record:

  i 1.1 == i 1.10

  i 1.1 != i 1.01

Which means that if the events are generated and the generator needs to
keep track of each event, one needs to define the maximum number of
digits after the fractional part to be able to make the counting right,
like 1.00001, 1.00002, ..., 1.00010 instead of 1.1, 1.2, ..., 1.10 which
would fail.

I guess it uses floats? They don't have very high resolution in the
fractional part..

It would be so much cleaner if this tag was a separate number or string
and not encoded in the fractional part of p1, but I guess it's hard to
change that now. :)

& the thing i recently discovered with all this is that the voice number
allocations can be completely arbitrary.. there doesn't have to be any
sequential logic to the numbering order.

just as long as you track & turn off what you turn on.

it took me about a year for the penny to drop, but it's certainly a
significant piece of information, & has had a significant impact on my orc
designs...

i havent read the documentation on this recently, but maybe it could be
amended to reflect this more overtly...

joy to the world
