-                Early synthesizers like the Roland SC-55 and Microsoft Wavetable GS MIDI synthesizer (MSGS) are terminating notes abruptly that have already received a noteOff after receiving a noteOn for the same key. This behavior was presumably implemented to save polyphony in these systems. This setting was introduced in fluidsynth 2.4.3 can be enabled to mimic this behavior, to esp. playback old tunes like Doom E1M1 accurately. Please note that using a SoundFont which makes proper use of exclusive class for e.g. percussion instruments will yield a similar result. This approach is generally preferable since it's portable among SF2 compliant synths and can be applied more fine-grained among instruments.
