I have a midi file, which I have saved in technics format. I would like to "link" it to a pre set Panel Memory which would contain the desired voices, rhythms, tempo, etc. for a different song, and then link to another Panel Memory with different settings ...
Right now I have saved the midi (technics format) with the desired Panel Memories. However, I want to go from one song to another, and currently when the midi ends, I cannot immediately go to the 'Panel Memory'. .... I don't know if I have explained my question correctly, but does anyone have any suggestions?
thnx,
t.

Hiya Tony
A midi file saved to hard disk or even floppy disk in Technics format still remains a Midi file even though it appears to have become a sequenced file. So at present I'm baffled that you can link it to panel memories at all...Please explain a bit more...

Hi Rog .... When I saved the file to the HD I had preset the two Panel Memories I wanted, and did a 'Panel Save' ... now when I load the file from the HD, the Panel Memories appear as desired. ... However, as I stated, I cannot get an 'immediate' switch to Panel Memory 1 as soon as the file ends ... Is it possible to do so?
thnx,
t.

.... and a belated Happy Birthday ....

Hi; Are you trying to "link" songs together so you can have a medley of songs?

Haveyou tried saving to Custom Stylist?

Using this method gives a quick and smooth access to panel memories which will stay as set until you manually change it.

You will probably know the Custom Stylist uses only 4 panel memories, therefore if you have saved all eight panel memories, you will have to use two 'slots' of the Custom Stylist.

Hope this helps.

Hiya Tony
Having read through this thread again, I think I understand now what you are trying to do. Is it...
Having loaded and 'played/run' a midi file from your KN6000 hard disk you then want to move on to load a set of panel memories (registration) for the next song which you are actually going to play yourself? and it is those panel memories which you are having difficulty getting to load exactly how you want them?
Rog

Roger and Dick ...
I am trying to link one midi file and 2 Panel Memory settings so that I can do a medley of songs with virtually no stopping in between ...
When I load the midi file from the kn6000 HD, the 'Panel Memory' registrations are loaded also ...
When the midi file is playing the 'Play' button is 'on', ... when the file ends, I have to turn off the 'Play' button and then hit the 'Panel Memory 1' button .... everything works fine, except for the amount of time between getting the 'Play' button to go off and hitting the 'Panel Memory 1' to set the registrations for the next song ...
Of course, going from one song using 'Panel Memory 1' to the next song using 'Panel Memory 2' takes no time at all ... It's just going from the midi file to the first 'Panel Memory' button that takes too much time ...
thnx agn,
t.

Aud .... I'm not sure the "Custom Stylist" will eliminate the time problem .... will it?
thnx,

Hiya Tony
I'm assuming your reference to HD means that your KN6000 has a hard disk installed.
I had always understood that loading the next set of registrations - say 8 panel memories - from hard disk on the KN6000 was a very fast process say 2 - 3 seconds...and I think that is the way forward for you rather than tucking panel memory settings behind the midi file in the same saved file on your hard disk. Give that a try..in other words separate out the midi file from the next set of panel memory registrations on your hard disk.
As a matter of interest that's why I bought the KN7000 because the loading speed from the SD Card is phenominally fast.

Hi Tony, There is a program called gnmidi that will develop a medley of midi songs. So far I have "joined" 7 songs. Saved as midi then converted them to Technics form. All songs were D/Led from the internet. The address for the progam is: www.gnmidi.com which have demo software available. Is this what your looking for? Dick

Rog ... Yes, I have the HD sx6 ...I will try your suggestion ... The speed, or lack thereof, in 'loading' from the HD or from a floppy (which I hardly use) is about the only complaint I have with the kn6 ...

Dick ... Thnx for the suggestion ... I will look into that for other medleys ... However, for this particular medley, I was looking to go from a midi file to a Panel Memory registration to play the song myself using the on board rhythms ...

OK Tony - good luck - it is a nuisance when you have folk up dancing to keep them waiting for the next load...
As I say I've always heard that the HD load was very fast (floppy far too slow) so let me know how long it actually takes would you so that I can inform others when the subject comes up.
Rog
I never owned a KN6 having jumped from KN920 to the KN7000...

Hi Tony
It's a few years since I had the KN6000 but I seem to remember that whilst playing a song (or a midi file) there was a setting on the HDSX6 where you could have the next song highlighted. The moment your current song is finished just hit load. At least it's one less button to press as you wouldn't need to press the sequencer play button. I don't know if it was possible on the HDSX3.
You could hide the break in the music by announcing the title of the next song like disc jockeys do.........

or make sure the applause is long enough...perhaps take a bow..bough...oh I don't know!

Hi Tony,

When I was having trouble with my KN6000 I was advised by Technics customer services to use this method and it works just fine, particularly if you can use the MS button 'on' whereupon this changes to the next setting for you, but I cannot remember if this was available on the KN6. However, it is still a very quick way of changing from quicksteps to waltzes etc.
