Once you use up 8 notes at a time, you have none to play on the keyboard. But (for example) if you have a bass track using 2-note polyphony and another track of chords using 3-note polyphony, you can either have 3-note two-oscilator polyphony live from the keyboard, or 6-note one-oscilator polyphony live.
