Wasn't that increased to 48 in the K2500/K2600?
And those 48 voices are 48 voices, always. I think you can have four
elements per voice, so in terms of other synthesisers (like my EX5, which is
supposedly 126 voice polyphonic, as long as you have one element per voice)
it would be 192 voice polyphonic.

Has that been fixed by now?

That's a bummer.

That too, although I can live without it.

Better than any sample player, though.

Er, I don't get that.

And there's the worry about decreasing quality... their European distributor
going tits-up... but a friend of mine bought a K2600X with a sample board,
and he's ∗very∗ happy with it. Amazingly complex piece of hardware.
