Strange...but I'm not receiving some messages!?!?

BTW, the CS2x have a lot of very cool voices and have the AMW2
engine, but unfortunately you can use only one performance (up to 4
layered waves) at a time. On the other hand you don't ∗have∗ to use
only XG voices to fill your "multitimbral set"...you can use
any "material wave" to make your tunes (a lot of people actualy think
that you can only use 1 performance and 12 XG)
