The mega voices did not seem to be very playable when I demoed the Tyros.... but... they work very well on the Motif ES once you work with them a little and get used to them.

I don't know about this new PA1x.. guess I'll have to wait to see if one becomes avaialable to demo before I canm make any judgements or try to evaluate it, polyphony and all. One thing I can say is that with my PA80 and 62 notes odf poly, I rarely if ever have noticed any note drop offs. This was not the case with my original Motif or my 2000. It's all in the way it's allocated too I think. It seems to me that when I've made 4 layer or sample voices with the PA80, it still only counts as one unit of polyphony. This was not the case with the Motif. With 4 layered voices I easily ran out of poly many times.. We'll see I guess....
