Not necessarily. It used to be true for me, but since i got Loop4 into 
my EDP I've also started to insert and cut very short slices of loops. 
Sometimes, when doing that, it makes sense to play multi-voiced chords 
to create dense harmony at one go.

Here's an example to illustrate what I mean:

Starting with only monophonical playing into the EDP but at the end 
playing chords to cut slices by "substitute-insert".

All the best
