Continuous Note Music Instrument Shield

Right now I am using the SparkFun Music Instrument Shield (SparkFun Music Instrument Shield - DEV-10587 - SparkFun Electronics)

I am trying to sample at a very high rate for inputs of keys on a device I am building to produce an indeterminate length note that is continuous. The issue with the Music Instrument Shield is that its notes have an indicator that they are starting so when played continuously its not exactly continuous (there's a "start up" sound). Is there a way to extend the duration length of the note?

Thanks!

Please post the code you're using. Otherwise we're just trying to guess what you're actually doing.

As far as I can see from the shield's documentation a note can last any length of time you choose from Note On to Note Off.

The issue with the Music Instrument Shield is that its notes have an indicator that they are starting so when played continuously its not exactly continuous (there's a "start up" sound).

Can you explain that more. From what I see this is basically a MIDI sound module and there is no start up sound. What voice are you using? It could be that you are using one with an initial percussive "strike" sound.
