My CZ-5000 still has 16 note polyphony when a one-line preset is 
played live.  By that I mean that I can have 16 note-ons triggered at 
a time before any previously played notes will be cut off.  To me 
that's polyphony.

I'm sorry if I offended you with my desire for accuracy.

PS: BTW, on each of the CZ-5000's 8 sequencer tracks, I can have as 
much external polyphony as the Command Station (or other module) can 
handle--even though internally the CZ sequencer is limited to 8 
voices.  (Yes, I am acknowledging that in sequencer mode, the CZ has 
8 note local polyphony.  8-)
