Mike,
Good points all. I have experienced note drops with the Motif and it's 64 note polyphony. Since that time however I started to work a different way and that is by building layers rather than doing it in one shot, which to me leaves out options compositionally and mixing/mastering.

I also use other modules etc for when I do want or need to build "big" sounds, so consequently it does not seem to effect me much if at all.

Another interesting thing out of what you said....if I can't hear the drop off and the piece still sounds right to me, then I don't have a problem with it, as long as it sounds right to my ears, the other is techie stuff that I try to avoid at all costs.

For me, the added colors to my sound palette and ease of use make the Fantom S88 a great board for me. I have never on any board I've had used the sequencer, now I do.
