Hi again Larry:

Larry said: "After using composer copy on a built in rhythm pattern, I recorded a song on the KN3000 and played it on the KN7000, and the rythmn was near perfect."

Reply: What exactly were you comparing when you said "near perfect"? If you compared the rhythm pattern that was saved on the KN3000 composer to the KN7000 composer. Comparing the same rhythm but on the different models, then yes there will be a slight difference but that's because of the difference between the two models. Which is expected with Technics instruments.

Since you have the KN3000 and KN7000 handy do the compare like this:

Load a KN3000 song using the pre-built rhythm pattern location. Now take that same song and load it on the KN7000. On both units, turn off the play feature. First, using the KN3000, play the APC only and get a feel of the beat pattern, try all variations for that particular beat. Turn the KN3000 off, and now do the same on the KN7000. Do you notice the difference in the rhythm pattern between the two? This is what needs comparing...
