Thanks Alec I was missing out the 'Initialise' Step

Kitkat : The 'Performance' save is just one of the options on Page 2/3, which allows you to quickly select the most common components of a KN7000 set-up, to be included in a saved file. You can see which these components are on Page 2/3 of the Save dialog. However, it is entirely up to you as to which components you decide to save to a File.

Re your question about Sound Memory/Custom memory retention time. They are two entirely different types of Memory : Sound memory is Volatile, although its content is retained for about a week - probably with the aid of a Back-up Capacitor. However, Custom Memory is Non-Volatile since it is implemented in Flash Memory - similar to the ubiquitous USB Memory sticks, so you won't lose anything in Custom Memory, until you deliberately over-write with a new set of Styles. This Non-Volatility also applies to other Memory in the KN7000 : See page 198 of your manual for details.

If you find that the Drum roll setting of 127 is still not loud enough for your purpose, there is another way of making it effectively louder. I would think that what you are finding is that Relative to the other parts within the Style and its Fill-Ins, the Drum Roll is not loud enough. I have encountered a similar problem and got round it by reducing the individual Volume settings of all the other parts of the Style and possibly RT1, RT2 and Left and then increasing the Main Volume. If you keep the Drum Roll level at 127, this has the effect of making the Drum Roll louder, Relative to all the other parts.

If that still does not produce the desired result, then of course you can use the User Kit to implement the increased volume for the Drum Sounds. As Alec has explained, the User Kit is saved within the 'Sound Memory' although it doesn't show directly in the Save Options. The User Kit is not an actual component within Composer or Custom Memory but merely referred to, within these memories. So, your edited User Kit, has to be present in Sound Memory, so that it can be 'called' from Composer or Custom memory.
If no User Kit is loaded from SD Card or Disk, I believe that the User Kit defaults to 'Standard Kit 1'

Unlike Composer Styles, which need a name for identification, There is only One User Kit, so there is no need to name it
