Hello Again Alexs,
I really do appreciate your help and advice it makes learning and enjoying my Kn 6000 so much more fun and nothing pleases more than sucsess.

I have tried playing around with the different notations as you sugested and noticed they graduate up and down half the value of the symbol before and I can now work out other than whole, half and quarter notes, which is what I was after.It all seems so simple now, but it did not feel like that at the week end, when I spent hours trying to step record one tack that ended up sounding nothing like it should have done.

I thought I may be trying to run before I could walk having just purchased a pc sequencer programme {Power Tracks Pro Audio]
so I am pleased you see this type of programme as a learning tool.HOWEVER I find the user manual that came with it less clear and informative than the manual of the Kn6000, or maybe it is my ignorance of midi and sequencing in general.There is still a lot of questions to be asked but I will eventually get there.I must also agree the aftersales service is secound to none.

Sincere Thanks for your time and help


Gilbert
