Ok. Missed that one. Thanks.

Yes. I struck the pads a few times and just copied the last one.

Yes. I followed some links and found out that it's normal to do that instead 
of note off. Do you know if note off and note on velocity 0 behave 
differently according to specs or is it just up to the implementation? I 
can't find any readable MIDI-specs for that. Pointers would be appreciated.

Ok. I just switched sounds within the same SF. I'll give it another shot with 
different SF. I also think I saw a SF-editor so I might fire that up and have 
peek at the SF:s to see how they are build up. I really don't know much about 
SF but now's the time to learn :-)
