Instruments sustain by repeating a portion of the waveform. The instrument
format SoundSmith uses can express a lot more than we have seen so far, and
what we need is an instrument editor that lets you add sustain markers to
an instrument and envelope data. SoundSmith .95 can play them, but we need
instruments that actually use those features in order to take advantage of
them.
