Any system I'm familiar with is perfectly happy to convert whatever rate is set in Csound to its own output rate. There might be low-level resampling artefacts, but it's probably "a topic for another time". > This time we have added a second instrument, "instr 2."

I was also thinking that you might want to skip some of your later variations and move to a simple melody sequence. One I've used in a distribution has a rather familiar one!
