Yeah, the cost of starting an additive synthesis note can be fairly
expensive as with a worst case instrument and default settings you'd
need to do 256 1024-point IFFTs per part and a bunch of math leading
upto the transform (in addition to all sorts of other initialization
stuff (like the memory allocation which I just finally removed)).
I've got this cost almost removed in my local version, but it's not
release ready.
