Yes I'm aware of this and it sure sounds good! Allthought I could see 
polyphonic sequencing on other machines as well, like FM+, SID and so 
on...

The midi sequencer is polyphonic. I tried it yesterday and it's very 
powerfull to use with soft sampler like kontakt. I love it. Why I'm 
writing so much of poly mode isn't because I'm thinking this machine 
as polyphonic, no. The monoside already is very good and doesn't need 
many changes. Allthought I would be sad to see a possiable and 
powerfull feature to get lost, just because of we are speaking of 
monophonic machine.
