Well, then my explanation is blah, because the behavior you get is 
exactly what I intended. From your list it's called "last note hit 
priority" (no retriggering of envelopes).

Does the fact that the outlets might not update in pairs seem strange? 
AFAICS it's a result of the no-re-triggering of envelopes...

I'll see if I can come up with a better explanation...

I thought about that, but AKAICT pd defaults to mono in the first place. 
Legato refers to the way legato playing is handled. On my micron it's 
not even called anything, it's simply the way the synth works in 
monophonic mode.

I'm not really that interested in the other modes, but I'll have a look 
at implementing them also, just for completeness sake. One possibility 
would be controlling the behavior by an inlet but also so that oyu can 
do [legato 0] to selet mode 0 (whatever that would mean, then)...

Ok.
