No, I'm not using the tunes included in the set.  I'm playing along
with CD's. I agree with you that 32 voices should be more than enough
without overloading things.  My hunch is the module is bad and will
need to be replaced.  I'm going to try Yamaha support to see what I
can find out.  I'll let you know what they have to say.
