Questions for those who want to have multiple outputs.
So what/how do you use these multiple output?
1. Each ouput is one individual
instrument.
2. Each output a combo of multiple
instruments.
Do you want to keep them separate?
Do you want to have multiple yoshimi instruments mixed
together, something like having channels 1, 4, 5 enabled,
each with its own instrument, to be played together?

If it's possible, I'd like to see each of the 16 *parts*
exportable, including
that part's 3 effects.
Bearing in mind that each part can consist of a kit of (I
think) 16
instrument 'voices', that would give you just about every
combination possible.
For compatibility, the main LR pair should be left as they
are.

Will,
Sorry, my previous message didn't have a subject headline. Fixed that.
So you are talking about
16 separate groups
each group has up to 3 effects, combining up to 16 instruments.
How much CPU resources would 16 instruments (altogether, combo) require? Of
course, some instruments may be more CPU-intensive than others.
Do you also want to have all 16 groups (upto 196 instruments) sounded together?
That might require a bit of CPU power.
Or 16 groups are simply separate "presets", each group to be activated
separately (while the other 15 groups are waiting to be activated).
-----
Some keyboards may have "combi/combo", or "layered" sounds that allow up to 3
instruments on right hand keys, 2 instruments on the left hand keys.
-----
Would it make sense to have some "scripting" commands to allow loading up these
a group of instruments, activate that group to be the current combination of
(up to 16) instruments. When needed, load up a different group of instrument
(automatically deactivate/swap-out previous group).
The whole group of instruments is played by a single midi input channel (any
channel).
Perhaps each group of instruments can be called a set, or preset of sort.
-----
Of course, on slower CPU's, the number of instruments that can be played
together may be much less than 16. Perhaps the software can allow a way to
detect, and or test for such potential problem and warn the user.
