Hello Runner,
You've now got me thinking as to how I would do that. Firstly though have you thought about using the FADE OUT button? This can be set to a given amount of time to fade out which is excellent for strings.
My own settings for strings are No.4 for the FADE IN and No.10 for FADE OUT. To use this facility, go to Program Menu, Control,
Fade In/Fade Out, then use the up and down buttons to make your choice.
There are several ways of dealing with your second problem. 1) Use the MY FAVOURITES facility, 2)save to a Panel Memory, 3) save all your settings to one of the Banks, 4) save all to the Custom Stylist where they will be safe as anything else you might load into the keyboard will not overwrite your settings until you yourself change them and you can go from one track to another either manually or, by putting on the Music Style Arranger button and using the fill-in buttons which will automatically change the tracks for you.
Hope this helps.
Audrey
