You realize that polyphony is eaten up when you layer voices and when you're in auto-accompaniment mode. Not to mention playing on top of MIDI files or Styles and of course using the Pad(s) feature as well. 48 note polyphony ain't nuttin' by the way. And 128 note polyphony is a questionable "streeeeeeetch" on a high end, multi-faceted, cutting edge, feature packed, arranger too. As Yamaha so sublimely put it: "Polyphony on a keyboard is likened to the Horsepower in your car." "The more polyphony (horsepower) the better." I like Yamaha's approach myself.
Best, Mike

Golly gee, Mike. What a revelation. All these years I've been thinking we only needed 10....well 11, if you're a REAL man.
