One obvious question there is:
what should the synth do when it reaches the limit?
There are several things that are possible and afaik implemented in
synths. It could drop the first note played, or the highest, or ...
Just as a hint. I clear the stage for the synth freaks now.

That's right Philip :)
I funk to answer it ;), because my Oberheim has got 6 voices and I
played 5 voices all the time, I couldn't discern it, but I guess for
this case it doesn't make a big difference, release only is for 'all at
last played notes', it can be called 'monophonic polyphony' ;). What you
are talking about seems to be interesting for synth that needs to manage
e.g. a limit of 64 voices, but for 16 sounds played by 16 channels. I do
have such synth, they don't sound like my Oberheim.
The selection needs to be able to enable what I call 'monophonic polyphony'.
