Thanks, Bud for all your thoughts and suggestions. I am aware of all that you said but I appreciate your reply. The volumes are not set low, i.e., APC, drum sounds, etc for me not to hear them when I play the sound while in User Kit. The User Kit is a very important tool for players to use. Many of the drum sounds that are standard in the keyboard are not loud enough, even trying to bring them up in Composer at full 127. I found it very surprising to find some set as low as 30 to 40 when there is the range of up to 127. This is the reason that I use User Kit. Also, as I have stated, you have the opportunity to change direction of the drum sound – left to right or center plus even individual reverb on the sound. Again, a very useful tool that apparently few or no one uses. The flexibility of Sound Memory is a very good thing but it also is a drawback. Someone like me that makes continual changes in Sound Memory, even saving to the SD card when sounds are different for different styles in Composer, it makes it sort of difficult playing live. Yes, I am aware that you save Sound Memory in a file, along with your Panel Memories for when you are playing live. Still, with my ever changing Sound Memory, it keeps me busy updating the file for live playing.
