Agree, the host already handles multiple instances on different channels,
why duplicate that in the plugin.
  The differences between 1 instance of a multitimbral synth and several
seperate instances (on different channels) is really just a matter of
presentation. Mayby the solution is a clever tabbed interface or something.
