Hi,

I just meant getting your hands on the full polyphony of the synth.
Now I've realised that the sequencer interface (sensibly) treats the
on-board synth like any other MIDI device.

No, that's fine.  I got a good reply from Matthias on LAD about the same
subject and as I said to him I think I'm still suffering under the old OSS
delusion that synth devices were still somehow "special" and the application
had to deal with its own voice allocations.  I was looking for a complicated
explanation to the behaviour I was seeing in my undoubtedly buggy code!

It took me so long to get my head around that OSS synth idea that I'm having
trouble letting go.

This is good stuff.  It all makes sense now.

Thanks,
