But I am inclined to think this is more due to some SA type logic rules, rather than a simple polyphony issue. For an entire PART to drop out just because one voice of polyphony is exceeded seems a bit strange... And because it IS those fancy vocal sounds, I think the issue relates to more than just the basic polyphony of the instrument.


I was told, the vocal patches are velocity cross fades...that actually overlap..thus using up polyphony more than a Roland type velocity switch..It seems to make more sense to me..

When you Tyros4 owners play the vocal patches ..can you hear an overlap of the different tones?
