*Update idea by Xavier Bidault:

"When you play one note on a piano, you play only a (one, a couple, or three) string. And when you use sustain pedal while playing again this note, the previous one disappears to let the new one sounding. This is not really a problem when the second note is louder than the first one, but it is when the second is softer! On each actual patch, the first loud note keeps on sounding and expressivity is very poor. So i made a modification to gain this realism while playing. And this improvement has the good idea to save polyphony... no need to have 256 voices to avoid loosing notes in rich playing (for example : a bass note keeping on ringing although the polyphony limit should have cut it a long time ago). I improved this for each note, and managed not to destroy the sympathetic resonance but keeping the reinforcement effect, and still with real-time sustain."
