This discussion has been very interesting indeed....

In each of my Panel Memories I save rhythms that I have tweaked to please my ear. Most of them have a Performance Pad that I have selected for that particular rhythm. When I turn the 7K on, the performance Pads "Auto Setting" light is on. To add or change a pad to my rhythms, I go to "Bank" (under Performance Pads) and select what I want from pages 1, 2, or 3 of the bank. I have not created any of my own to put in the "user bank"....I am pretty happy with what is there...so far.

Other than having the Expand mode in the "On" position, the Performance Pads on auto select, and when everything is like I want it, I press the center "set" first, hold it and then press the numbered button in the Panel Memory..... and always be sure to "save" everything to the SD card before I turn off the 7K each time....

When I want to use one of the PM's.... I just press it and off I go with the selected Performance Pad still in the program....

It does not erase itself....it stays right there where I put it unless I decide I want a different pad!

It works for me every time! Of course there are still many parts of the 7K that I know nothing about.... If I ever get bored with this Awesome machine.....Fat Chance! ;))
