>Do you hear dropouts in the music? It's possible for KMidi to get behind
in doing the many calculations required to adjust the pitch of instrument
patches, filter the signal, combine notes, and so on. If this happens, you may
be able to improve the situation by using the spinbox on the lower panel to the
right.  This adjusts the maximum number of polyphonic ``voices'' used at the
same time.  When you lower the maximum polyphony, you lighten KMidi's burden at
the cost of some chorus or reverb effect being lost, or some notes being cut
short or actually being omitted altogether. (In some circumstances, KMidi
generates extra notes to approximate the effect of midi chorus and
reverberation.)</P
