You not always want to mute the first note when a second note with the
same pitch is triggered, regardless whether such an instrument exists
or not. When creating software instruments, I often explicitly allow to
trigger two or more notes of the same pitch because of the way it
affects the sound. The phasing or  (with a small amount of random
pitch) pulsing can be nice. 

of course, but since i try to find a nice solution for legato portamento playing monophonic synths in puredata (4 of them on different channels, see below), there is only really one voice sounding at a time.
