Be sure to read the caveats at the end of the new sound manager chapter.
Most of the sound manager doesn't work on the MacPlus, or the SE.
For instance, you  can't have four-voice sound, and I'm not to sure about
free-form waves. In addition, the MIDI sound Manager stuff is a joke,
which is why Apple came out with yet different MIDI support.
