The swing setting I'm also going to look into. I take from Realm comment 
that it can be set for each part... I always thought it was far all the 
tracks...

>>>Yeah, you can apply the quantize seperately to each part, but it's not 
a real-time effect.  IE, you can't just change the parameters and have the 
new settings be instantly applied to the selected part. After you change 
the settings, you need to manually apply them only to the parts you want. 
The manual should sort you out on the specifics of the proceedure, but 
feel free to ask any questions if you're having problems. <<<

Also I was reading the other day on recording magazine that you could use 
the two effect boards for each preset, is that true? 

>>>Yes and no.  Here's a cut and paste from the FAQ on this:

There are two Effects processors available in the Command Stations at any 
time, regardless of whether you're only playing a single Preset, or a 
Pattern with 16 Tracks. You can use the Effects in one of two ways, each 
selected from the Global menu. The first is where the Preset on the active 
MIDI channel controls the Effects, and therefore all the Effects settings 
are used as stored with that Preset. This way works best if you're only 
playing a single Preset at a time.
The second method for using the Effects is in Master Effects mode. In this 
case, all Presets share the same two Effects, and the Effects and their 
settings are saved as a part of each Pattern. However being able to only 
turn the Effects on or off for each part is not very flexible, so E-Mu 
uses Effect Sends to increase your options. Just like there are only two 
Effects for the entire Command Station, there are only four Sends for the 
entire unit as well. The send amounts for each effect are freely 
assignable in the Global menu. For instance, say your first effect is a 
reverb, and your second is a delay. You can specify how much reverb you 
want to be applied to Send 1, as well as how much Delay you want to be 
applied to Send 1. Say you set your reverb amount to 5% on Send 1, and 
your delay amount to 27% on Send 1. In this configuration, any Track you 
route to Send 1, will have about 5% reverb on it, and then it has 27% of 
the delay effect added to it. If you only wanted reverb for instance, you 
would just set the delay amount for that Send to 0%, and now all Tracks 
routed to Send 1 will only have reverb applied. You can assign more than 
one Track to a Send, and you have 4 Sends to use for each whole Pattern, 
giving you lots of ways to use only those two Effects processors.  <<<
