I would think you might be able to squeeze upto 12 parts on the TI provided your not using unison mode. But your song would be way to midrangey....so what is exactly the benefit to you that you get all 16?

Im just wondering. Personally dual mode suffices.....

May I ask your opinion on this matter.........(your reto/tech wisdon/and understanding of analog synthesis is quite valuable)

In reality...... The TI shines on stuff where you want/need filter automation, etc.....or any "real time modulation".......As you mention, this is less likely (99.9%) to use all the TI's 16 multitiberal parts (assuming you have more than 1 synth/soft synth).......

With out over stating and confusing, here is the nutshell.......Would 80 voices ever get used up in an analog modeling enviroment. I can see with a rompler as you mentioned......voices being needed for orkestrational programmming/film scoring, etc.......

but for us pop/electro/dance.......are we not more likley to stay closer to monophonic for those "sounds"........Even the "pad" layer, how many voices vould that eat up max?

I guess what I'm trying to say is the "consumer in me gets excited when I hear the marketing campaing saying 80 voices......
But the engineer/scientist (in me) is asking me to prove neccessary functionality........

(This is by no means an anti TI issue.........)
