//Polyphony the easy way.... the example program seemed to be high in resource usage and would glitch and cut out after playing for just a bit... 
//so I made this.
//You can increase the possible number of tones by changing the values in the arrays and one of the if statements... 
//I figured 10 might be a good number to start with though.

//Do what you will with it.

//this is the device number for your midi controller
