Hi Larry:

Larry asks: So the proper way to record and save a song is to use composer copy?

Reply: If you like a particular rhythm pattern and don't want to part from it when getting a new model, the answer then is yes.

Larry asks: Panel Memory is only needed if using the Panel Memory settings. Correct?

Reply: Panel memory will stilll need to be used as usual, but not programmed to the location where the pre-built patterns are, but programmed to the composer location instead.

Larry asks: Using Composer Copy, are you also saying that the upper end keyboard will play exactly the way the lower ended keyboard recorded it?

Reply: What your trying to accomplish by copying the pre-built patterns to the composer is that these rhythms will be available when loaded in the next model up. Done correctly the answer is yes.

Larry asks: Can MSA be used after "composer copying" the rythmn pattern?

Reply: Depends on the model. If PR900, the answer would be no, but on PR804 the answer is yes. Model dependent... Not sure on the KN models...

As you said, and since you do have a KN3000. Take a KN3000 song you have that's using a pre-built rhythm location. Listen to it closely. Now load it in the KN7000, what do you hear? Is it using the exact same rhythm pattern? Different? If the KN3000 song had the pre-built rhythm pattern in the composer, then you would have the "Exact" pattern.
