Hi Terry

As far as backing goes - what I want is to choose when the backing comes in and out. The thing I am referring to here has more to do with choosing a separate rhythmic/non rhythmic backing/part - within the song that is a definite departure from the body of the song - like in an orchestral piece where the time signature and mood changes - except that I want to be able to pull that up whenever I chose - not in the same place in the song every time - say for instance you were playing along on C minor stretching out for an unspecified length and then when the mood struck you would segue into a different part of the tune by pressing a button - and when that part was coming to an end you could trigger a re-entry into the normal accompaniment part of the tune.

This always sounds so much more complicated when I try and write it down - I am trying to access sequences during a song which are not necesarily part of the backing.
