As a person that produces with LMMS on daily basis, I think thats a bad
idea.
I agree with all of Vesa's statements. Also you can acheve a lot by
layering more synths one under another. I have an idea that might help with
layering. What about making some kinds of "Instrument groups" so that we
can connect several synths together to allways play the same notes. I know
that that is possible right now with MIDI routing, but I think there should
be a more elegant solution.
Best regards,
