MIDI message 66 is Sostenuto, and values less than 64 are supposed to be off and values greater or equal to 64 are on, so it definitely should not be a toggle. The pedal should not send a 127 immediately followed by a 0 and yoshimi should not respond in this fashion. Sostenuto is not available on an upright piano where the sustain pedal just lifts all the dampers. Instead it only holds the dampers of the notes that are playing when the pedal pressed and/or are played while it is held down. Even so, I don't see any synth realistically emulating the full effect of undamped strings, as these will respond in some way to any other string being struck. Finally, if it is to be realistic, sustain should not be indefinite but should slowly decay. I've no idea what yoshimi (or any other synth) actually does. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
