It would mean it takes longer/shorter for the vibrations to die down. (This has a firm root in actual physics and real instruments: by changing the coefficient of the friction term, energy dissipates at a slower/quicker rate, thus making it take longer/shorter for the sound to dissipate.) (I believe one can even have variable sustain on some real pianos -- I think there's a very narrow range where the dampers aren't completely lifted off the keys.) --Mats > > - If the Sustain pedal is turned on for recording or for playing, and if > > recording or playing is attempted afterwards, then the Sustain pedal will > > be off even if the instrument's Sustain >=64.
