agreed, but its pretty hard to perfect it when its intended to be
driven by a protocol (MIDI) which doesn't associate note off events
with a voice. the sequence of MIDI events:
(on,note=64) ... (on,note=64) .... (off,note=64) .... (off,note=64) ...
is fundamentally ambiguous in MIDI because nothing connects the note
off's with any particular note on. different devices resolve the
ambiguity in different ways, some of them even offering options to
choose between. the sequence above could be 1 long note with a short
instance of the same note in the middle, or it could be two shorter
overlapping notes. its hard to generate this with most MIDI equipment,
but pretty easy when editing MIDI, and thus one has to be careful in
assuming that things are totally straightforward.
