Yes, just pick something that isn't magic like sustain. You don't need
to change the code that way; you can do it in the soundfont.

(In swami: select the preset, hit 'new' on the modulators tab, pick a
suitable source CC and set the destination to (I think) volume
envelope/decay and set the amount to something plausible. Units are
seconds.)

I'm not really sure if this works, or if it generates the effect you
want. But there should be some configuration that gets close.
