That whas I hopped...

Yes, I have noticed that. But the problem isn't here, in the way of the notes sound, but in 
the way of the notes *stop* to sound. The "off" of the notes.

It is set like this.

Here, we are not talking about *Aftertouch* Data (key pressure after the note is sounded)
but about *Velocity-Note-Off* Data (used to convey when a note on a musical keyboard is 
released).

And, BTW, I don't like this term, "pro". :°)
Because, in fact, I'm a pro who can't offer pros instruments... :°)))))) Especially DK ones...
