Hi list,

I think this is working with the following caveats- it is  achieved
with patch cords so obviously will only work on internal sounds. two,
you loose the use of an lfo, three I thinks os 2.0 is required.

The idea is maximum velocity notes trigger a square wave lfo that is
programmed like a switch to turn sustain on and off. 

-choose a sound like a bass patch
-choose 'preset' in the edit section
-cursor left and toggle 'LA' for editing all layers
-press button 6 in the step programmer to go to solo mode page
-choose any of the monophonic settings like fingered glide at the end
-press button 9 on the step programmer for lfo 1 settings page
-set shape to square, set sync to key
-set rate to 1/1 (this is left or behind the hz settings)
-set delay 0 set var 0
-press button 11 for patch cords page
-set #3 to lfo+- ---> keysust -098
-set #4 to vel+  ---> c03amt + 100

-press preset in edit section to come out of preset edit
press play+record to go into grid edit.

-start entering your pattern but use the data wheel to tie a note by
increasing the velocity past 124. For me any note with >124 vel is
tied by the note length set in lfo 1 rate.

Also use a note with velocity=1 to break a tie early.

Hope this works for someone else,

Good luck

Mike
