It is how touch sensitive keyboards do it...

I should know better than to ask a silly question here! I didn't know 
that was how music keyboards did it. But I was thinking in terms of a 
BBC keyboard. I guess you would have to register the time the key was 
held down like the auto-repeat feature does, inserting one sequence for 
a really short hold and another for a slightly longer one (allowing for 
debounce as well).

Who says there has to be any point? :D
