I think that should be possible - given you don't exceed one voice per synth and routing is restricted to the minimum...
of course that's just kidding...
your question is understandable, though - it's what allreviews focus on
But these are not 'voices' as in VSTis - I'm tempted to write '...not even the very best VSTis...' come close to the sonic richness and full sound of those 'naked' Sharc voices. It's my standard quote: compare them with
all FX shut off - which VST softsynth can stand on it's pure audio engine and still sounds convincing ?
In those synths you mention there are patches that even sound
better with less voices and
without FX.
That's a fundamental difference, hence # of voices is very difficult measure, but for the top of the line synths you may assume 0.5-1 DSP per voice as a rule of thumb.
