This needs some explanation. The easy test scenario to provoke this
behaviour is:



choose A1 (Amsterdam, a phat organ)

Play an octave doubled bassnote three times in succession while holding
sustain-pedal. 

Switch to A4 (DX kind of LA-Rhodes, 'Wheelmodulated III') while keeping
pedal down!

Helicopter around in a scale that fits with the organ-drone and watch
for the click when the excess organ voices are reused.






Caveat: This is a test scenario and do not appear naturally, at least
not for me. While playing with the 'Amsterdam' sound, I would most
likely at first fool around near middle C and then make my way down to
the finishing drone. And perhaps play the drone twice to make it fatter.
This will work always. Alternatively I could do a crescendo 'roll' on
the basses, but this will lead to clicks if extended indefinately.


To summarize:

1) I need the drone for some time, therefore I will not play it more
than twice (with holdpedal.)

2) I only need the drone temporarily while building up a new soundscape.
Therefore I can afford to make the drone fatter. I shall therefore
release the pedal well before any clicks gets audible.

Well ... it works for me :)
