I refer people to Carlos, that usually opens some eyes and ears.

think that just because a synth only has 2-4-6
voices, thats all they are limited to.

Record you first part. Setup another track
and record another layer or part with the same
patch on the same synth. Layering is such a
simple but often forgotten technique that doesn't
just apply to layering different synths. You
can layer the same synth as many times as
your heart desires (and your DAW track count
allows) :)

Yep,- especially w/ the very accurate emulations of Minimoog (Minimax), Prophet VS (Vectron), Prophet V (Profit-5), Juno 60 (Uknow7) and ARP Odyssey (Prodyssey) and John Bowen´s beautiful ZARG synths,- all polyphonic, running on my Sonic Core XITE-1 DSP machine and together w/ my hardware instruments,- all aliasing and latency free in SCOPE mode.

And there´s OPX Pro II VSTi too, which is a good replacement for my OB-8.

Works all in realtime, no DAW tracks necessary at all, except for OPX Pro II and the recording.

But there´s no real replacement for my Xpander up to now as also my Minimoog sounds different when compared w/ Minimax.

Anyway, there are lots of options always w/ todays technology and the technology from the past.
I like to have both options.
