John C -
You said and I quote, "Last thought. Page 198 in the manual tells us about the amount of time the keyboard will hold the Ram information (Your information) before it is deleted."
That page shouldn't be in the KN7000 manual. This is a carry over from previous keyboards. Case in point: It states that the Sequencer will hold memory for about 80 minutes when the keyboard in shut down. NOT SO. If you have a song in Sequencer and you shut down, it is no longer there, even when you immediately turn on the keyboard. Also, I have never had a problem losing my Panel Memories by not turning on the keyboard for more than a week.
We all play our keyboards differently, including saving files. If one insists on having no song in Sequencer, before you save your ALL PANEL MEMORIES and SOUND MEMORY, click on PROGRAM MENUS, click SEQUENCER, click RECORD @ EDIT and on the right side, click SONG CLEAR and save ONLY your ALL PANEL MEMORIES and SOUND MEMORY. Do the same thing when you save CUSTOM STYLES as a single file.
