According to the information that came with the MM, a 4-voice mode
sequencing mode is planned.  It will take one track for it and can be
done on all six tracks.  However, this is only planned for the Superwave
synth machine.  Which makes sense given the synth machines present in
the MM.

I think Daniel's point isn't that they won't do it because of the name;
it's that it's called Monomachine for a reason.  i.e. they didn't design
it with full polyphonic playing/sequencing in mind, thus it's not really
a good idea to place emphasis on doing it now

Personally, I think the ensemble mode (4-voice Superwave) will be quite
interesting and will offer a lot.  I would, however, *really love* it if
the MIDI sequencer was polyphonic.
