Hi Rikki,
Please put me on your interested list for styles.
I’m not in the same league as you, Alex and other members on
the forum when it comes to the intricacies of the KN7000 or writing about them,
but because I learn so much from members, I thought I would try and
make a contribution by telling how I go about making new styles,
from the great styles in the KN7000.
1. Go to Rhythm Group and select Jazz & Swing
2. Select ‘Fast Bebop’ style Rhythm 110
3. Go to ‘ Variation’ 2 for the drums & bass
4. Go to ‘ Program Menus’
5. Select ‘ Compose’
6. Select ‘Pattern Copy’ page one
7. In the ‘From Box’ you should have Group: Jazz & Swing, Rhythm: Fast Bebop: Pattern Vari 2 in the ‘To Box’ You should have Memory: ‘A’ Pattern: Change to Vari 2
8. Press OK. Fast Bebop style should be in memory ‘A’
9. Go to home page ‘Mute Bass and Drums’, as these are the two rhythms to keep
10. Go to Jazz & Swing and go through the Styles till you come to a n accompaniment in a style that you would like to add to Fast Bebop bass & drums in ‘Memory A’ i.e. Slow Jazz ACP 3 Variation 2 ‘Vocals’
11. Go to Program Menus
12. Select Compose
13. Select Pattern Copy
14. Select ‘Page’ 2 you have a ‘From Box’ & a ‘To Box’ {the to box on the right relates to A,B,C, in Memory} in the to box at the top you should have ‘A- Vari 2 PATTERN’ which can be rearranged by with the ‘MEM’ arrows
15. Go to ‘Part’ under the white arrow and move the ‘red box’ up to ACCOMP 1
16. Go to the from box where it says ACCOMP 1and change it to ACCOMP 3 with the arrows at the bottom of the column. Reading from left you should have in the From box Group: Jazz & Swing Rhythm: Slow Jazz Pattern : Vari 2 & ACCOM 3 in the To box you should have Part: ACCOMPI 1, FUNC: if it’s ‘KEEP’ or ‘CLEAR’ you ‘MUST’ change it to “COPY” with the arrows at the bottom of the column, only then press ‘OK’
17. Go to home page
18. Go to memory ‘A’
19. Go to Home Page un-mute ACP 1and you should have ‘Vocals’ in ACP 1
20. un-mute drums & bass, and you should hear drums, bass, and vocals.
21. Repeat the above for ACP 2, ACP3,ACP4 & 5 for your new style, all in the same variation.
22. You can now start on the other 3 variation. You can choose any style to start with and you can choose any variation in any style to put in your first style. the permutations are enormous. I believe there are short cuts which I have not found yet, but I shall keep trying. Have fun, All Best, Fred UK.
