Dear Jyoti, Lot's of questions but according to polyphonic and 16 track recording. This is a very basic answer! 32 polyphonic is not so much, 64 or 128 or even more is a LOT better. Don't forget that 'the band'playing the accompaniment style part (ACMP)is already using sometimes a large part of it. So you can end up with 'missing' tones. How many tracks to record on? 16 is for a beginner and most profs MORE than enough, most of the more expensive keyboards don't have more than that. If you use an ACMP style in your recording it can consume a few tracks because each instrument(or VOICE)in general uses 1 track. As an example: If you have a 5 piece combo playing: Bass, drums, guitar, piano and a trumpet you use 5 tracks. That leaves you with 11 tracks to play and record your own piece... that is 11 VOICES or instruments, in other words that is a very BIG band. Some keyboards are giving you even the possibility to 'DUB', that is double the recording on the same track. Unless you want to record a 48 piece classical orchestra..... 16 tracks is enough. Hope this helps you a bit with making a choice. Regards Dick Rector Bali (Indonesia)
