Sustain is the ability to hold out a note to its full extent. For example, the violin sample can hold out its note for a considerable length of time.
Certain instruments like the 8-Bit instruments and the Electric Guitar can sustain their notes longer than samples due to the sounds being generated by oscillators built into the Web Audio API that online sequencer uses.
To create a sustained note, one must drag out the note on the right side. Conversely, you can also drag notes smaller and have a small release on the instrument.
Note: Not all instruments have this feature. Pseudosustain would be used instead for instruments not using this feature.
