That shouldn't be true. What counts is the number of voices and not the number of instances (minus a possible very slight overhead per instance). So a 10 voice sequence played by one EXS should take up as much CPU as 10 1-voice sequences played by 10 EXS's. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/
