Right "out-of-the-box" not that often. If you start to assign 
multiple layer voices to each pad or start triggering sounds in the 
module through an external midi device, the number of simultaneous 
voices being used can add up. For example a PCY65S pad bow surface at 
it's basic level could just trigger one voice. At the other end of 
the extreme, if you assign two voices to the pad and two voices to 
the rim switch and you turn on the "Rim-to-Pad" option, four voices 
would be triggered at one time. Do this with several cymbal pads and 
it adds up real quick, especially when you playing along to song.
