imports/exports and multiple instances

Hi everybody,

        I have a problem concerning the SA standard.
I am trying to say to an instrument instance that another instance
on the same key (or same string, an equivalent problem but with
possibly different notes) is started and then it should turnoff.

I can't use a global array: if I understand well the SA standard, all the
global variables are exported at the end of the kcycle, and it shall be
like that to have a causal behavior among multiple instances of the
same intrument; but in this way, if multiple instances
export an array, only the last modification (i.e. the last note of a chord)
is set in the global array, the rest is overwritten.

I can imagine to have a note_manager instrument, receiving control events
from the score at each new instance of a note, but again what happens if I
import a ksig that receives 3 values in the same kcycle ? I suppose that
only the last one is saved.
So, I'd like to know if there is another way that I don't see to communicate
among different instances of the same intrument; I find it very important
for computational complexity reduction and also for accuracy in instrument
descriptions.

Thank you and best regards,

        Giorgio

ps: Eric, I don't know if I am in this mailing list; if not, please
