Remember, if you are using a synth that counts voices or elements, that could play a part in it as well. For example, you have a patch that may have a piano and strings together, even if this patch is not a sound that you layered, it still could take up 2 notes of polyphony because it uses 2 elements. There are patches in the motif, for example that use more than 1 element per patch . I don't know what you are using as a synth, some may even use 3 or 4. So you may want to watch that also. Another thing is that string patches also take up a lot of polyphony. Hope I didn't confuse you too much on this. if I did, just let me know and I will try to explain it better. its early for me, and I am not feeling my best.
