Hi Bert,
I haven't used the Custom Stylist, but I just loaded my Country files in, and I don't appear to have the problem.
Try pressing the following buttons
Program Menu
Control Menu
Music Style Arranger Mode
and see if it's set to " Sound & Rythm".
If not, try setting it to that, and see if it works then.
I accidently set mine to " Panel Memory " the other day, and ended up with it not working properly.
If it still doesn't work, email me privately and we'll try and work out what's gone wrong.
best wishes
Rikki

Thank you all for paying attention to this problem but I am afraid that the problem is not well understood. I will try to give a deeper explanation:
I have downloaded the .cst styles from the KN7000 download site and saved them on my PC. After that I made folders of different groups of styles, like ballads, country, 8beat etc., grouped the downloaded styles and saved each group to a floppy. In this way I created a floppy containing a number of .cst files which I afterwards loaded one by one into the custom rhythm section. Before I did that I cleared all the positions in the custom rhythm section by copying a cleared composer memory to all the positions. As an example I give you the result of the contents of the custom memory after I loaded a group of country styles (indicates the origin from kn7 website):
Pos 1: Country Shuffle (kn65)
Pos 2: Country Shuffle (world)
Pos 3: Country Swing (kn3)
Pos 4: Country Swing 1 (kn2)
Pos 5: Country Swing 2 (kn2)
Pos 6: Country Waltz (kn5)
Pos 7: Country Walz (kn2)
Pos 8: Techn Country (kn5)
Pos 9: Saloon Bar (kn5)
Pos 10: Square Dance 9kn5)
Pos 11: Line Dance (kn5)
Pos 12 to 20: clear (I want to use these positions for future extension)
I saved this group under the name �Country 2� as .ast (all custom styles) to SD
This is exactly the procedure and even the grouping of styles as Rikkisbears suggested on this forum (thanks Rikki) and it works fine. Nothing wrong sofar.
Now I get to the problem:
I load my �Country 2� file (all custom memory) from SD to custom memory. Pressing the custom button shows the contents of the memory as saved before. Selecting rhythm�s and MSA variations is o.k.
If I select custom stylist from the Music stylist menu I see 11 groups of 4 variations which should correspond in rhythm with the loaded styles.
The first one on top named Southern shuffle (with variations Country Groove, Country Rock Sax, Rock all night and Shuffle Drawbars) does not give a rhythm and if I check what rhythm in the rhythm section is choosen (by clicking the custom button) it shows pos. 13 which is a clear memory. I checked this with all Custom Music Stylists starting on top and using the skip button downwards with following result (style name in custom stylist � positionnumber in custom memory � rhythm in custom memory)
Southern Shuffle � pos. 13 � clear
Country Shuffle � pos 9 � Saloon Bar
Country Swing � pos 4 � Country Swing
Country Swing 1- pos 7 � Country Waltz
Country swing 2 � pos 16 � clear
Country Love � pos 7 � Country Waltz
Country Waltz � pos 12 � clear
Hillbilly Joe � pos 10 � Square Dance
Pub Singalong � pos 2 � Country Shuffle
Bar Dance � pos 9 - Saloon Bar
Line Dance Crazy � pos 8 � Techno Country
My conclusion is that the link between custom stylist and custom rhythm is not correct but I cannot find out the reason for this. Is there anybody who can tell me what I am doing wrong?
Rikki: you use the same method, do you have the same problem?
