I have some questions about MUNTs State and Status displays

Each partial seems to have 1 of 4 states at any given moment

Grey - Idle
Green - ??
Yellow - ??
Red - ??

I know each note played requires between 1-4 partials depending on the complexity of the instrument, but I don't know much more than that. Can anyone elaborate on the meanings of the indicators?

The notes shown on the Channel Status display also have various colors. I *think* this is showing how hard the note was pressed (Velocity, I think this is called in MIDI-land). Can anyone confirm or deny?

My understanding of MUNT's partial state colour indicators is as follows:

Grey - Idle
Red - Attack phase (a MIDI note is playing, but the sound has not yet reached a steady state)
Yellow - Sustain phase
Green - Release phase (the MIDI note has stopped, but the sound is still fading out)

The colours on the Channel Status display do appear to indicate the velocity of the current MIDI note, from green (quiet) to red (loud).
