contains sixteen sounds, with one of the sixteen sounds each being assigned to a key pad.

About Polyphony
The DR-670 features 20-voice polyphony; that is, a maximum of twenty sounds (voices) 
can be played simultaneously. However, some instruments use two voices each time 
they sound, so when playing such instruments, the actual number of simultaneous 
notes may be less than twenty.
To find the number of voices used by each instrument, refer to the “Instrument/Bass 
Tone List” (p. 99).
