No problemo, and just a small tip... When writing strings (or any kind of pad) NEVER PLAY CHORDS. The chords should emerge from single lines operating at intervals from one another--essentially individual melody lines that move together like a school of fish or a flock of birds. Use your matrix editor (the piano roll thingy) to keep them lined up nice and proper. Let their entries and exits be inconsistent with each other (as long as it's within a 32nd note or so), and use a volume pedal to ramp in and out of your orchestration lines. Also, the difference between major and minor is in the third-- (the Mi of Do Re Mi) Major is "Mi". Minor is a flatted "Mi", ie a half step down. But you probably knew that. Anyhoo, enjoy!
