Only because it is possible it doesn't have to be useful ;-)

Any analogue polysynth can be seen as a certain count of monophonic
synth voices.
Take the MKS80 or JP8: it has eight "monosynths". Normally you have
normally eight voices.
Making stacked sounds the JP8 will have only four voiced (two
"monosynths" for each stacked voice).

Now you take the JX3P: it has six "monosynths". In normal mode it has
six voices. If you would stack two patches, you would have only three
voices. If you'd stack four patches, you'd need four "monosynths" - but
then there would be left only two other monosynths, which is not enough
for a second voice. Since this theoretically four folded stacked synth
could play only one voice, I say: "It would be a monosynth".

But the truth is: This is not possible at all. You need for each sound a
complete set of S&H-stages, which store the control voltages for all the
parameters. If you want to stack sounds, you need two sets of these S&H
stages.
The MKS80 has two of them and the JP8 does. The JX3P has only one set.
Btw: the JP6 has two sets, but one feeds four voices, the other feeds
only two voices. So you can't make stacked sounds with a JP6, as the
voice architecture is not "symetrical".
