Sending of MIDI messages from a keyboard and the local polyphony are two separate things. If you hold down
8 keys on a synth with only 6 note polyphony then all 8 note on messages are sent out over MIDI but only 6 of
them will sound on the local synth. As you release each of the 8 keys a MIDI note off message is sent out for
each note. How this affects the local synth voices depends on the voice assignment algorithm.
The sustain pedal function can be implemented in different ways, but for MIDI transmission it will normally be
completely independent of the note on/off messages. In your 64 note arpeggio example, pressing the sustain
pedal sends out the MIDI sustain pedal on message then each note played in the arpeggio sends out its
corresponding MIDI note on and note off message. It is up to the receiving VSTi to manage its local voice
allocation and decide with of those notes to play and which to cut off. The sustain pedal being on just tells it to
keep sounding the currently playing notes. Then releasing the sustain pedal sends out a MIDI sustain pedal off
message telling the VSTi to release any notes not currently being held.
