didn't notice it again; I guess you're right and I did choose patches
with envelope seetings you mentioned above. Sorry for the traffic.

I did, some lines you'll find attached. BTW: Zyn does behave the same:
Hold is recognized as long as at least one note remains active, but
hold is lost as soon as the last note gets released. Further thing: My
pedal does not necessarily send Hold on as a value of 64 or 127 but as
arbitrary values between 64 and 127. The jack is a multi jack, I can
even connect a swell pedal to it and assign an arbitrary controller
number.

Best regards
