KN7000 and a Laptop Computer
Tools-- Kn7000 -- Laptop -- Encore program for music notes --- Word program (For lyrics)
I try to create music/dance sets.
Example; New York New York -- Leroy Brown -- Latin --- I can't get started --ECT.
1-Panel memory is in "extended"
2-Bank one eight buttons -- one or two buttons for each song.
3-I write the name of each song in the panel memory -- 10 Banks -- 8 in each bank -- that gives me 90 to 120 songs. After writing in the name of the songs I select the stlye,tempo and instrumentation. First I select the songs I want, then off to work creating everything that is needed for the songs.
4-I might use the same panel memory for more than one song with the same feel. The panel memory will only show the first song.
5-The bank view is in my main screen.
6-I am able to go through 80 panel memories and select a song. Many times I will follow the bank just as it is layed out.
7-When I find a weak song in the set, it's replaced. The sets are constantly improving.
8-After I select the song on my keyboard I select the same song on my laptop.
9-The laptop is set up just like the keyboard with Bank names and song titles.
10-I now have four set ups with 80 panel memories. That's over 400 songs. Also one for Christmas and one for the Senior jobs.
11-Many times the same song is on more than one list.
No more books --- I can create a new book (Bank of 80)in a very short time --- I can move written songs and lyrics with ease -- no more sliding pages from one book to another -- If there is anything I feel I need to add to the set up (Tempo change, which ending, ect)I can write it on the music (Laptop)--- This fantastic for live playing- it's fast and flexable.
I'm open to any ideas which will improve my set up. Please posts whatever!
Life is really good,
even when it hurts a bit, John C.
