Hello James!
In mono mode: You very often - at least with analogue/virtual analogue synth
you have the choice between retrigger and no retrigger. It is usually a
seperate button/function.
You could have the same choice for polyphonic mode. It depends on the
instrument. With a drumkit cymbal, I'd expect the first note to completely
play through. With a guitar I wouldn't. It's a pitty you only have straight
forward play through to the end and not stop the sound according to its
envelope (release phase). But maybe in time...
I hope that helps.
Kindest regards
Julien
