Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Keyboard overflow

No, that's not it. The reverb and echo are set to soft settings, and the
VCA decay is about 10, and here's the kicker: I cannot get it to happen
with normal, single-hand riffs. It requires either two hands working
frantically, or palm smears, a la Hammond organ.

Here's a simple test that works every time: If I put my right hand on
Middle C and gliss up to high C and back down again -- no overflow. If I
put the left hand on the F below Middle C and gliss both hands up to the
top and back again, when I take my hands off (at around the same notes as
where I started), the keyboard is actually only playing High-F/high-C at
that moment, and about a half second later, it glisses down to the end
notes -- even though I'm no longer touching the keys!
