Aprilla,
As an addition to Technicsplayers post, if you want the voices to change when choosing the four variations, hold down the Music Style Arranger button until the next screen comes up(located right above the Variation 1 button). There are three selections. The bottom selection will cause the panel memories to advance as you go from variation 1 to 4. Use this setting for the downloaded styles.
Be sure to go back to the 2nd selection for normal composer built in styles.
Regards,
Walt

sure, that's a way, but if you do that you'll just have to set it up again every time you load a file, unless you play around with the current panel load options, but if you do that then you will have to hit a panel memory or change to another variation and back again to get the correct starting registration etc before you start to play a chord. But the advantage is using the fills to change the registrations. Going back to the 2nd selection is for presets and customs, not composers, but customs are not applicable to the 2600 anyway.

Hi, thanks. I was just replying to a particular enquiry about the sound changes on the 4 variation buttons using KN5000 styles on the KN2600.
The sounds do change if you press the Panel Memory 1-4 (the rhythm remains the same).
The rhythm changes using the Variation 1-4, with or without using the Music Arranger (music arranger enables Fill In 1 & 2 to go back/advance respectively).

Hi, the rhythm variations should normally also be changing along with the right sounds with panel memories 1-4 unless a setting has been changed somewhere.

I got the sounds to change by going into program menus - music arranger - and changing from sound and rhythm to panel memory. However, if I have lowered the tempo, when I switch to another variation it goes back to the original tempo.

Thanks for sharing, I'll try that.

I have it now for the tempo. Go to program menus - select Control - select panel memory. Expand will be selected on Page 1 - go to Page 2 and scroll down to tempo. Turn that to off position and you are good to go. Now the RH instruments will change with each variation but your selected tempo will remain unchanged.

I thank everyone for all the input - it's been a big help.
