I checked with my three evolution usb-keuboards and both mk-249c2's send 
the extra note off, whereas the (newer) mk-449c works like it's supposed 
to. So it looks like a bug in the eveolutions.

I remember playing a bit with muse when I bought the first mk-249c2 two 
years ago. At that time muse also showed the duplicate noteoff, where as 
I don't think rosegarden did. Anyways, just recorded a note in both 
rosegarden and muse and at least they don't show the extra noteoff.

So it seems that rosegarden and muse have a workaround for that kind of 
behaviour...

I can't tell whether it being recorded or not, but here's the files 
recorded in muse/rosegarden, maybe you can:

Anyhow: For now I can simply use the newer evolution, but wouldn't it be 
an idea an do like rosegarden and muse: For the sake of userfriendliness 
towards owners of crappy keys, implement a workaround?
