Hi Orm,

I'm not sure what you mean by "devices" in this context. By far the 
greater number of (pre-21st century) hardware synthesizers employ the 
"note-on of 0 equals a note-off" method of silencing a MIDI note event. 
I've always felt a bit cheated by those manufacturers, since note-off 
velocity can be routed for some very interesting effects upon key release.

Best,
