So it seems that you're forming chords with the oscillators. Using oscillators to form chords is not a very parctical way, but it can be done and the rule of one +0 oscillator also applies here. Creating chords with oscillators is always a bit "risky" because you tend to forget what chord is in which patch. For example if you program maj7 chord on one patch it won't work with a patch that has m7 programmed in it even the both patches play at the same note.

I'd recommend creating a single note patches and playing the chords instead of programming the chords in to the patches. Much easier that way plus you get more oscillators per voice.
Seconded.

Grab a couple of beginner/intermediate keyboard music theory books, or something, you wont regret it. Ignore the oscillators, sounds and stuff for now. It's a distraction.
There's nothing better than just a man and his piano for actually learning music.
