It is worth remembering that legacy MIDI hardware is stateless. MIDI messages are simply processed as they are received. If a sostenuto message is received before a note on, then the sostenuto won't affect the note. It makes no difference if the sostenuto comes a millisecond or a minute before the note to legacy MIDI hardware.

One observation: The action is really, really, really fast (i.e. instantaneous). It sometimes (fairly often, in the case of sequencer- and notation software) happens that the note-on and sostenuto events are nominally simultaneous and not necessarily in the correct order. The attached (fairly mechanical) MIDI file, generated by lilypond, demonstrates this. Now, I don't have a problem with things as they stand -- if I want a sloppier pedal I can simply defer the sostenuto events a few hundredths of a second -- but I wonder if that fast an action is typical. _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
