Hi Rob,

the way the mixing works, which is about right, because the sound quality
degrades rapidly with the introduction of more voices.. >>

Unless Clavia is handling polyphony very differently than the rest of the 
digital synth world, increasing polyphony does not effect sampling rate.  
Maybe you are confusing this with bit depth?  (where 24-bit processing is 
necessary in order to maintain 16-bit resolution when multiple voices are 
digitally mixed together)

BTW, the Nord Lead uses Motorola 56001 DSP's as tone generators.  The 
standard Nord Lead contains one of them, and the 8-voice expansion board has 
two more (4 voices per 56001 chip).  I don't know what they've got inside the 
Lead 2 or the Modular synth.
