It says that the yamaha Yamaha PLG150AN expansion has only 8 notes of polyphony, well, if I add it to a synth (let's say the Cs6x, witch has 64 voices poly. will the expansion sounds still remain the same 8 notes or 8 + 64 = 72 notes of polyphony ? I somehow thought that if you add an expansion board it will expand the polyphony of the keyboard

Actually, it has 5 notes of polyphony, and that's it!

 

That polyphony is added to the polyphony of the host. The PLG cards ADD whatever polyphony they have to the total polyphony of the host, but the card's polyphony doesn't change.

 

(I just realised I miss my AN1X!!)

Whatever the expansion has polyphony, it never changes, it is only added. Meaning, CS6x keeps its 64 voice polyphony, and AN has its 5 voices polyphony. Nothing else changes. If you use AN sound, it will have 5 voice poly, if you use CS6x, it will have 64 voices poly.
