> Can we find a better way of making it taste the same without being the same? 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.
