Paraphonic mode in KeyGrid to send only one continuous CV even if multiple keys are pressed

I am currently experimenting using my Erae Touch 2 to control my Behringer Solina string ensemble.


Everything is ok on the midi side.


This synthesizer has a CV input to control the VCA. I have mapped the pressure of the keygrid to one CV output.


This work perfectly in mono mode (one key at a time). But, when i press a second key, the CV restart from 0, briefly cutting the sound. The VCA here is shared between all notes. 


It would be great to have a kind of paraphonic mode in the KeyGrid (and probably the keyboard, i have not tested yet) to control shared parameters. 


In this mode, the CV value sent for pressure when a new key is pressed should stay the same as the first note. One way to handle this could be to use the most pressed key among the active notes to set the CV value (probably the already pressed key, until the new one is pressed to a similar level and might possibly took the lead). There might be other options to test though to find the more musical one (a mean, the less pressed key...).
