[PD] Key-repeat makes keyboard-pianokeys impossible?

[Chuckk Hubbard]

I don't see how it would be possible if, in OSX, repeated key-downs
are exactly equivalent to pressing and releasing the key over and
over.
Maybe there could be a sort of interrupt/hold time option like with
GUI bangs.  If there is less than a few milliseconds between events
with the same key number, they don't count.
