I think it does take up more ram

you need to use a multi instrument exs 24, then send each sound to a 
diffrent output which is then selected as a AUX channel, select a aux 
channel and hold down like you are selecting a instrument and select a input 
form the exs 24.

if your using a g5 2gz dual you may get clicking, there is a way round it 
tho if it happens

Actually, my understanding was that it does not. At least not a few versions
ago and I can't imagine they would have changed it.  But yes, the multi
output suggestion is also a good one although I never use it because it is
just so much easier to open another instrument then go through the routing
song and dance.
