Thank you so much for the kind responses to my plea.

I have workers in the house at the moment, but as soon as they finish in my 'music room' I will take the dust sheets off the 7000 and see what happens when I try your kind suggestions.

Audrey, I know 'nuffink' much about the 7000, as have only had it a couple of weeks, and its predecessor, the KN6500 a couple of months before that.

I can 'eat' the Yamaha OS, as had Yamaha since 1983 - last ones being 9000 Pro and a S900, so have much to learn on this new (to me!) operating system. It keeps my old brain in peak fitness.

Both my wife and I are playing it OK, and it sounds superb, plus we love the features we have discovered so far, but when you go beyond 'simple use' - lack of knowledge is immense - particularly as I do more in the 'Arranger' side, and hopefully will soon be sequencing, multitracking and creating styles. There's a long and steep learning curve ahead.

Its all 'Good Fun' isn't it?

Once again - many thanks, I will report back, eventually.


John
