Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] How to achieve one shot (ignoring note off) and monophonic voice

[Martin K. <ma...@ro...>]

Hi Christian,

Thank you very much. group and off_by worked well. I did experiment with 
them previously but I must have done something wrong as they were being 
ignored. I will be running LinuxSampler on headless Pi 4 for my show 
next week. Thank you for this amazing piece of software!

Kind regards,
Martin
