Sound generation (synthesis method and maximum polyphony):

• SGX-2 (Acoustic Piano Sound Engine): 60 double stereo notes (corresponds to max. 240 voices)
• EP-1 (Electric Piano Sound Engine): 100 voices
• AL-1 (Analog Modeling Sound Engine): 36 voices
• CX-3 (Tonewheel Organ Sound Engine): 128 voices
