Hi Ron!
The virtual organ could have a 50 rank chorus in a medium registration. Each
note of each 61 to 96 note rank is in memory. The notes have complex
harmonics, too. Swap might work with a really, really fast drive and a
really, really fast processor, but memory has worked better for the guys who
have done it, so far.
