Re: [fluid-dev] Sustain long fadeout a property of the synth or the font?

[Matt Giuca]

On Roland midi pianos they simulate the effect when the sustain pedal is down of the other undamped piano strings resonating in sympathy when a piano hammer strikes a single note?

I suppose it could be that. For me it works on non-piano instruments too. I have a Yamaha PSR-550.

Well, this Creative Labs page suggests that that feature isn't in the SoundFont spec:

There is an envelope parameter called "Sustain" but it refers to the volume at which the note decays to after a while of holding the key. There doesn't appear to be anything in the envelope parameters to behave differently due to the sustain pedal. That's a pity.

Thanks for your help.
