I want to use this setup as a simple stage piano. Your variant of samplerbox works perfect for me apart from that sustain issue.

I've done a bit more research around the sustain issue. The ripple effect only happens if the pedal is pressed down for circa 10seconds. Anything under that, the issue doesn't manifest itself. I found that taking the pedal off 5 seconds into a lead piano break and then back on reduces occurences of this ripple effect happening.

Why do i need the sustain on the pedal? 

I don't need it for all of the songs i perform, but if you think of a song like "Let it Be" that little piano run before the guitar solo is a must for the sustain pedal...and it works beautifully until i take the foot off the pedal!

If this is only happening when pedal is pressed for circa 10 seconds, it is as you say, a CPU or memory issue?.
Hans, is there any way in software to clear the memory buffer if it detects a long sustain keypress?  It would probably take a few mS to clear in memory and generate a click in the process but still, thats better than a rippling sound!
