But very close. All the process function has to do is to
write zeros to the output buffer. That can be done very
fast. If having to do this is a problem, then actually
generating some sound would be a much bigger one. Which
means that things would fail anyway.

It is of course up to the synth to be aware of inactive
voices and reduce its own processing effort for those.
Maybe some don't do that.
