Actually, it was me. Still haven't had any suggestions on how to get 
rid of it. Can't really see a way around it. The problem is that for
`fake reverb' you need two decays after note off: one for the note
dying away and one for the reverb. You can't take the immediate decay level 
to zero because then you've got no level to reverb from. But you also want
the note to die away completely during key sustain. The result is
this funny ressurection of the note after key release. It's weirdest when
you've been holding on to the sustain pedal for a while and thne release it.

Still interested in creative answers to this one. Won't even be angry
with you :-).

Chris.

Subject: video <-> sound

I'm having a problem with a Diamond Stealth Pro VLB video card causing
cracking noises on the ultrasound sound in windows. It does not occur
in the 640*480 video modes, but it does running in 800*600 resolution or
higher. For midi use (the only use I'm interested in), the 'solution' I found,
was to put the ultrasound in the conserve memory mode. The removes the
cracking, but why did I upgrade my GUS to 1MB |( ?
I know that a video card should not be put on top of the GUS, and it isn't
(some 10 cm in between). Among the things I tried to get rid of the
noise, were changing the monitor scan frequencies, number of colors, and the
number of active voices of the GUS. I suspect there might be a possibility to
solve the problem using a physical shielding (metal plate, case) between
the two cards. Has anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?

Eric
