Even _with_ program changes, playing a SMF will continue to be a 
drag, I'm afraid.  Unless the SMF contains built-in GM program

You _could_ make a song template with 128 EXS instances and... 
well... not really very convenient, I guess... :-)

Uhm, what's the limit on number of virtual instruments anyway 
nowadays?  Still 64?  Or has it been upped to 128 somewhere along the 
line?
