There are five voice sections for the Upper keyboard (including the Upper Flute Voice section), three voice
sections for the Lower keyboard (including the Lower Flute Voice section), and two voice sections for the
Pedalboard. Each voice section can, of course, have its own Voice Condition page(s), which allow you to
finely set up voice and volume settings.
