That is precisely what the Initialisation process is for ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) Let's assume someone loads up a file with say a total 'performance' set-up and then later, another person loads a file with only a limited number of components - say just panel memories and current panel. Assuming the sequencer was being used by the first player and has not been canceled, then when the second player presses Start, the sequencer will start to play again(unintentionally of course), and will use the sounds in the current user's Panel Memory setup - could produce some very strange effects!! ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif) This is due to 'remnants' of the previous player's set-up, not being overwritten by the current player's set-up and therefore, they are still active. So, in short, to ensure a 'clean' start after someone else has used the keyboard, use the Initialise facility to clear out the previous player's set-up - it only takes a second or two.............. ------------------ Willum After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music.

Thanks for that Scott.
Fortunately, I haven't had to cope with this problem lately. I learned many moons ago when saving, go to Page 2, switch on/off everything I wanted/didn't want to keep and then save in the EXPAND MODE. I think this was featured in one of the Workshops in the TechPlus magazine.
Using the same technique, when saving ALL CUSTOM STYLES , I go to Page 2, click 'ALL OFF' and then the upward arrow under CUSTOM to change it to 'YES'. This ensures the safety of your Custom settings. Again it was featured in the magazine.
I am sure there are other little 'gems' I've yet to learn about the KN7 which is why I'm planning on going to the Cambridge Convention as the 'Teaching & Learning Workshop' is the main reason for holding the event. Roger Mepstead is working very hard on this and by all accounts it's going to be a lot of fun, so the the more of us that turn up, the merrier it will be.

At the organ concerts I would see the performer put a small disk into the organ and start playing. I later understood what the function of the disk was; The different performers can all use the same organ and it customize by using a disk that has their information stored.
ROM “Read only memory” This pertains to all the features in the keyboard that the factory has put in that you CAN NOT change. For example a factory style. This cannot not be change – unless you copy it to another area which allows you access, in this case it would be the Composer Memory area.
RAM “Read access memory” These are areas where we have our fun, we get to set up and make changes that give the keyboard our personality.
When I used another persons keyboard I ask permission to load my information and that if they have anything unsaved they will lose it.
Now all that, and most of it has been said, this is how I work with the RAM area of the keyboard.
What I have saved on my SD or floppy disk. 1-Current Panel memory 2-Panel memory – not three but ALL 3-Sequencer, if I have a song recorder 4-Composer 5-Sound memory 6-Performance Pads 7-Effect memory 8-Favorties I do not use Midi, so I normally do not save it.
In a separate area I save the Custom Styles. In third area I save Home Page. I am now covered. If I have forgotten any RAM area please correct me.
Every time I set to play my keyboard or record a song I do my first load. For me this a must, I start with the same base all the time, no surprises. – the difference in time to load all the above 8 or to load a few of them is very little. The home page is only loaded when playing another keyboard. I have two sets of Custom Styles, one for seniors and one for Contemporary. When needed I load them. If there is nothing wrong with the keyboard I can load and perform in complete confidence, I have it covered. Every time I load another persons work it changes my keyboard – but I am prepared. I call this my good habit.
As far as Bill’s Initializing thought, he is so right – if the house is dirty clean it, it is necessary when you have done all that you know. There have been times when I just stare with a puzzled look on my face –Time to Initialize.
As far as the Sequencer being on when you go to play, I can only say aaaaaah! Yes, embarrassing –annoying.
Benefits: 1-When you record a song you are always starting with the same information in the keyboard – it is your foundation. 2-When performing there are no surprises, (except for the sequencer) Grrrr.
I know that I have repeated some of what others have said but I needed to give a complete story. A N D it’s 3:25 AM and my old mind gets very wordy.
Hope this helps, John C.
Ain’t this a great place???

Good thoughts John - even at that unbelievable hour ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif) One other trick I use to overcome the possibility of a 'rogue' sequence being still active : When I save a set-up which does not use the sequencer ie just Panel Memories, Sound Memories, Composer etc. I save a BLANK sequencer as well and this will automatically clear any previous sequencer data, when loaded. Just make absolutely sure that the sequencer is clear or that the sequencer has been initialised, before saving the set-up to SD or Floppy Disk. I use this method when gigging on KN7000, when I have a list of song set-ups on SD Card, for a particular performance, which includes some with sequenced accompaniment and others with just a basic set-up. Having played a song, which includes a sequence, if the next song in the list does not use a sequence, then during the loading process, the Blank sequence automatically clears the sequencer and turns it off ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) . This of course works even with random choices of songs within the list, provided a blank sequence is included with each non-sequenced song.
