Description
### Bug Summary
Edited freeboy parameters and created a "chime" sound, and noticed it was giving a very high CPU load.
#### Steps to reproduce
1. Download this file:
[Freeboy_issue.mmpz.zip](https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/files/7070082/Freeboy_issue.mmpz.zip)
2. Open and play
3. Look at CPU usage while playing. (Even while muted, apparently, this has an impact on CPU.)
#### Expected behavior
0 to minimal CPU usage, like with other instruments.
#### Actual behavior
Goes all the way into orange CPU usage.
#### Screenshot
#### Affected LMMS versions
1.2.0, 1.3 alpha

Research direction
Start by opening and playing the attached Freeboy_issue.mmpz project in LMMS, checking CPU usage while the project is playing and muted. Trace the Freeboy instrument entry point and compare its behavior with other instruments; done means reproducing the excessive load and confirming minimal CPU usage under the reported conditions.
