Surprisingly, all classical polyphonic keyboards like piano and organ works according to 'a'. If you - while playing four-handed piano - accidentally strikes a note already held by the other player, nothing will happen (in musical terms, that is ...) Polyphony is what is supposed to happen when you strike /different/ notes and doubling notes will normally be done by pressing the hold-pedal and then striking the note twice. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
