That's right Philip :)

I funk to answer it ;), because my Oberheim has got 6 voices and I 
played 5 voices all the time, I couldn't discern it, but I guess for 
this case it doesn't make a big difference, release only is for 'all at 
last played notes', it can be called 'monophonic polyphony' ;). What you 
are talking about seems to be interesting for synth that needs to manage 
e.g. a limit of 64 voices, but for 16 sounds played by 16 channels. I do 
have such synth, they don't sound like my Oberheim.

The selection needs to be able to enable what I call 'monophonic polyphony'.
