It may sound right to your ears Terry but the fact is some 'important' pieces of your composition may be lost in a song you so laboriously and tediously composed and 'wanted' it to be included IN the song. That's all I'm saying is some important pieces of the puzzle may be missing because they didn't get included into the song because, quite frankly, you ran out of Polyphony. Overall the song may 'sound' okay but if we were to delve deeper we would see "hear" something missing. If a Classical piece by one of the Masters was given for the Queen of England and at the end of the piece during the Crescendo the Timpanist whose part was a major intricate part of the piece and especially at the Crescendo couldn't be heard because the Timpani even though he struck it didn't produce any sound. How would the Conductor feel? Outraged to say the least. How would the Queen of England feel if having knowledge of how the piece was suppose to sound and it didn't sound proper or the way it should? If it was in ancient times I would imagine the poor Timpanist would have lost his head over it- "literally". And probably the Conductor too. The point being I for one don't want that to continue to happen to my compositions. In your case I just wanted to make you aware of what could possibly happen to your compositions in any given or subsequent song recording on the S88. I'm glad you like the S88 and hope to "hear" more of your compositions in the future with that Board. But the Polyphony issue with the S88 is something you have to be aware of and I guess through these posts I'm bringing them to your attention again. Nuf' said.

Well maybe not.

...I too found the S/88 easy to use and navigate. Something Yamaha should stand up and take notice to when they go back to the drawing board and design their next Workstation. Hopefully the Mo' ES will be at least a little more user friendly than its predecessor. One of the big things that prevents that from happening in a more dramatic way is the smaller LCD screen of course which is the 'same' size as the original Motif.

Best regards,
Mike
