BTW, with most of it's sounds being mono, 64 voices goes a LONG way... almost as much as a 128 voice arranger if it's mostly playing stereo voices.

Put it this way... in ten years of owning and playing the bejeezus out of my G1000, I can't ever remember hearing a dropout. If the voice allocation algorithm is written well, any voice stealing that MIGHT be going on should happen to whatever voice has already sounded the longest, is further into it's decay, and sounds the quietest.

If you have heard much voice stealing in a 64 voice arranger, it may be that this algorithm is not written as well as Roland's is.

Just remember, there aren't over 64 parts in a symphony orchestra... Less is more. If you are maxing out a 64 voice arranger, or heaven forbid a 128 one , it might be time to look at reducing some of the parts or layers!
