There is also the choice of which voice to assign to when you have
several free voices to choose from.

I've been playing a Juno-106 lately, and as far as I can work out one
of the poly modes is least-recently-used, *except* that if the note
you are hitting has already been assigned to a voice then it just
retriggers that voice.  That turns out to be handy for something, but
I forget what.  Anyway, I like that mode, it seems intuitive and
non-surprising.

The other poly mode seems to be "first available", in which if you
play a mono line all notes will assigned to the same voice, which is
great for mono lines but gets non-intuitive for me when I play more
than one note.  It works for certain styles but I have to think pretty
hard about what I'm doing.

Yes.  Screwdrivers rule because they are analog, and you can get
things tuned as close as you want.  On the other hand, with digital I
presume you'd get it set as close as possible and then play some music
instead of tweaking pots for another half hour.
