To ensure backward-compatibility with older banks, the program format has been updated to include a new "voiceCount" attribute (with value 32). When loading patches, the patch XML is checked, and if it does not include the "voiceCount" attribute, the value of the VOICE_COUNT parameter is scaled by 0.25, i.e., to the range 0-8, instead of the new range 0-32. Newly-saved patches will have the new attribute, and the parameter value will not be scaled when the patch is read in.
