Hi everyone -

I have had little time to be at the keyboard the last few days. Last night, I decided to do a few tests the way Bob and others have suggested. It is the answer. I appreciate very much the several responses to my problem. The one thing that bothers me and this is not to upset anyone but had you given a full example, it would have been so much easier. My mentioning that it frustrated me to have to always be aware of the Intro and Sequencer button being on when playing live, no one said how to resolve this OTHER THAN stating when you save your setup for playing live to include saving Sequencer with nothing in it. No one gave the reason that this would RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. It does, of course. Quite frankly, I don’t see how and here is why: Saving Sequencer along with your other settings seems to me to activate the Sequencer by at least turning it on because even though you have not put anything in the sequencer, you have saved the setting. To me, it seems like it would activate the button by turning it on. It doesn’t, of course. Many of you are well informed on using the KN7000 to its fullest. You have also had your KN7000 much longer than I have had mine. I don’t have a great deal of time to be at the keyboard. I am a stickler for detail. I have said often that I am a perfectionist living in an imperfect world. Had I been one of you, I would have given someone a FULL EXAMPLE however elementary it seemed to you. My example on this issue would have been something like this:

Start with making sure all your panel memories are set the way you want them to play live. Before saving these settings to the DEFAULT settings, make sure you have NO SONG IN THE SEQUENCER. Saving Sequencer in this way will NEGATE the Sequencer button coming on, as well as an Intro because you have no song saved in your live playing file. This is important because after playing a sequenced song, loading this file you have saved for playing live will TOTALLY NEGATE any previous sequenced song, as well as the Sequencer button and Intro being in play. The default settings will save everything you currently have setup for live playing. Saving your file for live playing in this way will save you the embarrassment of forgetting to turn off the Sequencer and Intro buttons after playing a sequenced song.

The above might be slight overkill but it clearly tells the person who does not fully understand WHY this is done. You all assume too much. You know how to do these things and you cut to the chase and think someone automatically knows what you mean and suggest. By giving a full example will resolve the issue quicker than just stating to do something. Rog said and I quote: “p.s. with regard to all the rest we are talking 2 totally different ways of using the operating system of the KN7000 and realistically they are so far apart that only by standing next to one another each with our own keyboards could each of us comprehend fully what the other is proposing...” He is right.

Bob, it doesn’t mean a hill of beans where I had the file of the 14 songs. They were in a typical file (Number one, in this case) and played by selecting SD SONG MEDLEY. There is one possibility that when I did a set in CUSTOM PANEL, I was in PANEL MEMORY A with a sequenced song in it. I rather doubt this because I think I brought up BANK 1 of PANEL MEMORY before doing this set. Regardless, what you stated about changing the Panel Memory later would have negated anything set in CUSTOM PANEL. It didn’t and it is now water under the bridge, so to speak. I don’t know how this took place but I have made the changes and corrected the problem.

In closing, I do want to make it clear that I appreciate everyone of your replies. You truly are on the forum to help others and a great group. I agree with Audrey, it truly is a great forum. Just remember, don’t assume too much when giving your valued knowledge on an issue. If the issue is somewhat complex, give a full detailed example. It will solve a lot of back and forth comments.
