Ian, I checked ..the Rolands also have 8 tracks , but 16 parts...Are you saying for sure that Yamaha also uses 16 parts?
Yamaha uses 8 style tracks...RHY1, RHY2, CHD1, CHD2, PAD, PHR1, PHR2.
They each have their own EQ, DSP effects, and filter, as well as volume and pan.
Also, Yamaha has the advantage of four programmable Multi Pads to add even more to an accompaniment.
If Roland's 8 style style tracks are expanded(?) to 16 by overdubbing, then the tracks would have to share EQ and effects, wouldn't they?
That may, or may not, be advantageous, as I said earlier.
