As far as I understand it,
the engine is file main.c in folder cpu
GUI stuff is located in folder /editor
both communicate with OSC
right??

so there are somewhere in that code 8 midiports that route the
midinotes to an engine (that I dont's seem to find for my
codingknowledge)
Now in the UI I see 8 synths each on his own midichannel.
The docs Malte has made say that by using a midirouter I can send one
miditrack to those 8 midichannels at the same time and hear 8 synths
each with his own sound.
Bur I don't see (again my lack of codingexperience) in the code the
part, where it says
-> engine 8 voices each is reserved to an own channel
or if the engine is called 8 times, one per synth-tab
