Only my opinion

If I wanted more from my sequences in my KN7 and I was playing for people who loved to dance, especially to contemporary music, I would find and download the best free midi file I could find.
Then I would:
1- Make the General Midi file into a KN7 Technics keyboard sequence.
2- Edit a user drum set to my taste.
3- Select a style closest to the song I was redoing.
4- Delete the #10 (Drum track) from the original midi you downloaded. Replace it with the drums you created.
5- Then work with it as you would with any other Technics midi files.
6- (Breaks and variation, changing instruments, ect)
7- Now you have a Technics sequence with Technics great sounds
8- And ---- you have all the music fills inns, runs, and music that made the original song popular. As the saying goes, “It’s gotta sound like the original song”.

Sounds involved but after hearing some of the songs including big band I have to say it was worth putting in the effort.

Hi John

What you have just described it what I am trying to do. I have lots of midi files I would like to turn into a KN7000 sequence (not just playing the midi file).

Is there any way you could expand slightly on the steps you have mentioned for us not so technically gifted.

Yeah John, I would like more too.

Hi John, It has been a while since I played a KN7000, but I recall, to me the drums were not great (preset), as you described another "boxy" is a good term....I remember Uncle Dave had to use a separate out to eq the drums thru a mixer..

The method you described is one of the things I did like on Yamaha, allowing to use a drum pattern in place of the seq drum track, the down side, I dislike the drums on the Yamaha...

John could you post a demo of your results, or email me a clip...I think I should listen to another's work, and not rely on my memory..

As much as I like my KN7000, I must admit the drums are not as good as the G70.
