Well on my old and worthy Waldorf Microwave (first generation, not the second) I can choose the trigger mode, but on my access Virus there's no possibility to choose it; but the default behaviour is reasonable, so it isn't a true limitation. Softsynths have even more problems concerning polyphony. I tried to play ZynAddSubFX with a hold pedal connected, but this lead to heavy system load. I already filed a bug report, but Paul currently doesn't seem to have the time to work on it. I also know that ams currently seems to be sleeping, but maybe filing a feature request on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=69130&atid=523506 is worth the effort. Best regards ce
