I was scared it'd be missed in the other post. In response to someone who tried to answer this question I said:

so back to the other response about the start/stop key. I'm still not sure if we understood each other. Wait, let me have another read through of your response....

Hmmm, no I don't think you got me. Let me put it this way. When I am actually playing an arrangement, I can press the start/stop button and it lights up. The instant ALL notes are let go with no pedal either, then the music stops comletely. Then it starts the instant I touch the board, and stops again if I stop. It will stay in this mode until I push the start/stop button again, and turn it off.

So lets say I was doing something like "When a man loves a woman" I'm playing the song and I'm at "Baby please don't treat me badddd." (I press the start/stop button, I stop playing the keyboard at the end of the word bad. Silence.

Now I'm coming back in, and lets say I want to ham it up. I sing really slow with pauses in between.

When (press D chord for a second, lift up, silence again)

A (press D chord for a second, lift up, silence again)

(Play G)Maaaan loves a woman.

Now every time I hit the chord for a second, no matter when I chose, it starts the sequence with a cymbal crash, because it is technically the start of a measure whenever it hit it anew.

So you can see how useful this would be for live application. On songs like me and bobby mcgee, at the end I'm doing a fancy belt at the end while my left hand is rapidly banging bass notes, and because I'm not sustaining them, it's also hitting the cymbal over and over like a crashfest.

It works great for those points I gave as an example.

So, the million dollar question. Can this be done in Solton?
