OK, good. 

By the way, I'm wondering where you found this piano. A google search
revealed only a soundfont created by Mats Helgesson that doesn't seem to be
available any more. I thought that if it's free, I could try to see if I
could reproduce your problem, but I was unable to find this instrument
anywhere.

I'm not sure I made this very clear in my earlier post. What I am referring
to is the volume setting in the EXS instrument editor window. Is that what
you adjusted, say to something like -12 dB, or did you adjust the fader on
that instrument in the mixer?

Yes, no doubt your machine is underpowered. But I don't think that could
generate clipping distortion. The symptoms of insufficient horsepower might
be audio overloads or stuttering of the audio.
