Im curious to know where the sustain parameter came from?

As far as i know there is no other instruement then
the electronic that can generate a endless sustain!

Wind instruments die when air ends (as in blowing), strings
ends when bow come to end and has to change direction,
percussion, well, etc, im talking about natural situations,
not elctric guitars running trough a compressor/sustainer etc.
