Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] Gigasampler and Key Groups

[Sebastien M. <me...@me...>]

Hi Christian :-)

What you call keygroups is usualy refered to as exclusive groups. What 
you have to do is to simply kill the currently playing voice of an 
exclusive group when the user starts playing a new voice on the same 
group. (Of course you have to take care of the potential click and fade 
out the rendering). You can picture this as a monophonic sub layer 
inside a layer...
