I've only ever used 4 at the most, and usually just 1 or 2. Having multiple voices with different ADSR, filtering etc. enables you to build up some very complex sounds. For example you can have voice 1 with a fast attack and quite fast decay with a very harsh sound, then voice 2 with a slower attack smoother sound with a delayed LFO etc. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
