Dennis have u seen the Karma 3.0 video on motifator.com with the Motif XS/XF??? MUCH MUCH closer to arranger functionality now.

by the way - i have already produced some very detailed trance tracks with multiple arps and drum samples overlapping and have never once noticed any drop in Poly.

The 8 element voices has almost nothing to do with Poly unless u are playing organ voices. almost every other voice which may or may not have up to the full 8 elements dont actually trigger 8 notes in the one hit. they are all velocity or assignable button activated.
