Robotchas is right.  A voice is a layer is a sample is one standalone
instrument.  Think of a voice as a track on a hard disk recorder.  Sure
you can record your whole band to two tracks, using only two "voices",
but you no longer have individual control over each instrument.  In the
XL-7, you have 128 audio streams, each of which is a voice.  Some
things like stereo/chorus use 2 voices.  Layering two different
instruments together each uses their own voices.

*NO ONE* that I know of in the ROMpler/sampler world counts layered
presets as one "voice".  Stereo sounds use two voices.  Layered sounds
use at least one voice per layer.  This is not deceiving on the part of
every synth manufacturer, it's just what the terminology is.

By the way, I forgot to mention that 12th order filters use 2 voices.
