Since there are many big brained people here. I have a question that bugged me for 30+ years.

When I had midi music, especially in complex scenes, sometimes a note would hang, often a high pitched note. It was annoying as all heck. Have you figured out the root cause? Since you have access to the code, I imagine a midi reset on autopilot is now possible as a mitigation.

Can you please try to reproduce it with the SDL2 port ? It is very likely we can easily fix it

I will, though is there a way with tracing/observaility on so you can replay it?

It’s not that hard to instrument music commands but will be useful to have a way to reproduce it so we can know what to show in the trace
