Note not sustaining very long?

I am playing a song and I have created a simple combi made up of intimate strings and m3 piano. The start of the song I press the first A and keep my foot on the sustain pedal whilst playing a piano part higher up. I noticed that after 5 seconds or so the low string sound goes, despite me having my foot still on the sustain pedal? Is there any way to keep the note sustained for a long period of time whilst playing a piano part at the same time?

I also want to know this, and how to do it the other way round.

I mean, having a sound fade instead of sustaining, like pianos do.

I think your note disappearing would be down to polyphony - the note is being 'stolen' as it is oldest.

As for the piano with a more realistic sustain with the sustain pedal, you might try adjusting the amp envelope so that it decays to zero (but still over a long time) rather than sustaining at a nonzero level.

Excuse my ignorance.

I know what you mean by amp but i dont know where to set that in a [prog]. I guess I can figrue it out in combi mode.
