Why can't virtual synths have more voices?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>This may end up being too technical for a layperson like myself to understand, but I'm seeing virtual synths come out with 4, 8 and 16 voices and I'm wondering why they can't have more? Obviously once you hit a certain number of voices (like 64) there's no way in hell you're going to use that many, but why do they limit themselves to less? </p> <p>Is it something to do with chips, or programming?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/calebjoycemusic"> /u/calebjoycemusic </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/exh0dw/why_cant_virtual_synths_have_more_voices/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/exh0dw/why_cant_virtual_synths_have_more_voices/">[comments]</a></span>
