Well some of the BigBand files I have are getting up to 250K! and one or two 
have up to 38 notes at a time. For a while I was splitting between ports 
to use a 2nd modual for brass.

I've gone through the Soumd Blaster 8 and AWE32 and this machine has a Yanaha 
opl3 or somthing card. No docs (so what else is new??) but it did work. Then 
I added a MQX32m and things sounded better on the Sound Canvas and then I got 
the MX8 patcher working and can now switch around between computers and 
moduals. Running 2 computers playing at the some time is weard.
I just wish that the modual makers had thier manuals as a text file the comp 
screen is easer for me to see.  C Yuh  Clint
