MIDI Voice Limit

Caps how many MIDI notes may sound at once, enforcing a polyphony limit downstream. When the limit is reached, new notes displace existing ones according to the node’s stealing behavior so the voice count never exceeds the target. Use it to protect a monophonic or limited-voice instrument or to deliberately thin dense passages.
