Hi,
Just to clarify,

Well, this is not entirely true. Not all patches in a Roland XV module use 4 voices. It is true that many use 3 or 4 voices but not *all* of the good sounds use 4 voices.
Arvon45 forgot to mention that many programs (not all of course) in a Triton use 2 voices (ie double-mode). So, a Triton is a 62-voice machine, and, if you use only double-mode programs, it is actually a 31-voice machine. With the MOSS board it is a 68-voice and 37-voice synth respectively.
When making comparisons such as these it is important to state all of the facts rather than swaying someone to your own personal preference. Each synth has its own drawbacks and its own strengths. Polyphony is roughly about equal. Okay, so the Triton comes out a little ahead when you take it down to a 37-voice synth but it's not that much more really. Don't forget too that those 6 voices come from the MOSS board so you don't get 37-voices from the ROM sounds or loaded samples.
Just thought I'd clear things up a bit.
