Uggh, I knew that example would confuse the issue. I demonstrated the
more flexible case.

Which I pointed out below the example. But this is *COMPLETELY* dependant
on the synth. When I play the same note 3 times in my sampler, I *do*
want the tail to play. When you play the same note 3 times in your
e-piano, you do not.

Yes, but that implies some knowledge between the sytnth and the sequence.

...for a piano. This is NOT the general case though. By forcing this to
be the protocol, you gain nothing, and you impose restrictions. That's
not good.
It's just as easy to use a new VVID for each voice. If you're a piano,
you can floorf() the pitch. If it is the same as an existing RealVoice,
kill that RealVoice. The key is that it's all *inside* the plugin, where
that decision belongs.
