Hi Rikki,
Please put me on your interested list for styles.
I�m not in the same league as you, Alex and other members on
the forum when it comes to the intricacies of the KN7000 or writing about them,
but because I learn so much from members, I thought I would try and
make a contribution by telling how I go about making new styles,
from the great styles in the KN7000.
1. Go to Rhythm Group and select Jazz & Swing
2. Select �Fast Bebop� style Rhythm 110
3. Go to � Variation� 2 for the drums & bass
4. Go to � Program Menus�
5. Select � Compose�
6. Select �Pattern Copy� page one
7. In the �From Box� you should have Group: Jazz & Swing, Rhythm: Fast Bebop: Pattern Vari 2 in the �To Box� You should have Memory: �A� Pattern: Change to Vari 2
8. Press OK. Fast Bebop style should be in memory �A�
9. Go to home page �Mute Bass and Drums�, as these are the two rhythms to keep
10. Go to Jazz & Swing and go through the Styles till you come to a n accompaniment in a style that you would like to add to Fast Bebop bass & drums in �Memory A� i.e. Slow Jazz ACP 3 Variation 2 �Vocals�
11. Go to Program Menus
12. Select Compose
13. Select Pattern Copy
14. Select �Page� 2 you have a �From Box� & a �To Box� {the to box on the right relates to A,B,C, in Memory} in the to box at the top you should have �A- Vari 2 PATTERN� which can be rearranged by with the �MEM� arrows
15. Go to �Part� under the white arrow and move the �red box� up to ACCOMP 1
16. Go to the from box where it says ACCOMP 1and change it to ACCOMP 3 with the arrows at the bottom of the column. Reading from left you should have in the From box Group: Jazz & Swing Rhythm: Slow Jazz Pattern : Vari 2 & ACCOM 3 in the To box you should have Part: ACCOMPI 1, FUNC: if it�s �KEEP� or �CLEAR� you �MUST� change it to �COPY� with the arrows at the bottom of the column, only then press �OK�
17. Go to home page
18. Go to memory �A�
19. Go to Home Page un-mute ACP 1and you should have �Vocals� in ACP 1
20. un-mute drums & bass, and you should hear drums, bass, and vocals.
21. Repeat the above for ACP 2, ACP3,ACP4 & 5 for your new style, all in the same variation.
22. You can now start on the other 3 variation. You can choose any style to start with and you can choose any variation in any style to put in your first style. the permutations are enormous. I believe there are short cuts which I have not found yet, but I shall keep trying. Have fun, All Best, Fred UK.
