### Multi-channel

You can import a file with multiple channels.

### Polyphonic

If the content is polyphonic, ACE Studio will, by default, convert all overlapping notes into sustain notes after importing, as a singer track cannot synthesize polyphonic content, just as a human cannot sing in polyphony.

To import polyphonic content, hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> / <kbd>⌘Command</kbd> while dragging a file into ACE Studio. The content will be split into separate melody tracks.
