Hello there! I have a question: when i play a string sound pressing a key using soundcipher the sound has a lenght and after a while it starts to glitching. how can i play longer notes , string sound notes, and have them stop when i just release the sound key, but keeping the quality of the string sound without glitches?

Ok here is a code that it is working. I put two different instruments, a string and a piano to be played when the keys 's' and 'k' are pressed respectively. The sounds are trigged but in the piano case it has a duration and decay, in the string case the duration is much longer. What i need is a way to shrten the string sound if i desire to play a short note. The piano sound it is ok What i want is to have the possibility to prolong or shorten sounds like strings , sinth bass, basses, if i press and release the trigger keys. I know some sound can not do that but like in a sintesizer some can and they are going to be sounding as long as i keep pressing the key.... thanks for any help!!! Here is the code:

`import arb.soundcipher.*;


SoundCipher sc = new SoundCipher(this);
SoundCipher sc2 = new SoundCipher(this);

void setup() {
  sc.instrument(49);
  sc2.instrument(00);
}
void keyPressed()
{
  if (key == 's') sc.playNote(60, 100, 6);
  if (key == 'k') sc2.playNote(50, 100, 4);
}

// keep processing 'alive'
void draw() {}`
