Yep...your wrong. Any percussive instrument that decays is by nature 
polyphonic. What is unnatural is a sampler sound that completely cuts off 
it's ambience and decay. Try playing a real open hi-hat in a rock setting and 
then try the same thing monophonically on your EXS, then try it 
polyphonically. Polyphony is important for sounds that decay.
