Let’s step into a place where the Kn7000 really shines. Although I have posted this in past I feel this is another good opportunity.

Bands do not all sound the same, they are put together with a purpose.
Types of bands:
1-Big Band
A-Ballads like Misty.
B-Medium tempos like Satin Doll.
C-Strong like In the Mood.
2-Latin Band:
A-Soft Bosa Novas like Meditation.
B-Rumba like Spanish Eyes
C-Samba
One of my favorites
3-Strimg Orchestra
A-One for light selections
B-For Full string Orchestra
Important and needed.
4-Full piano performance -- Nothing but Drums, Bass and left and right hand piano. Was called for audition at a fine country club They said no because they were looking for a piano player. I asked them for one night, they agreed. I turned my Technics keyboard into a piano. The instruments in the style were changed to different type of pianos – the bass was always set to Acoustic contained and the drum to Brush. I played there for several years. Your keyboard is capable of doing do so much more, it is only limited by our imagine.
The 13 banks are filled with different Bands/Orchestras. Big Band A,B, C, three separate banks use different instruments at different volumes. Example A soft trumpet for a “Ballad Band”. -- a stronger sharper trumpet for a ”Medium Band” – and a full body trumpet for “Strong Big Band”.

Use your imagine and create the type of Band/Orchestra the style demands.
Panel memory is set to “Normal”. You select the style and the you eight memory Band/Orchestra to match. With this set up I use only the Style presets and the Custom 20, and the Composer memory. The Music Style Arranger is turn off, I want only my changes. In this I get the right instrument (my opinion) in the right tempo, at the right volume for each instrument with the right balance. When a solo trumpet is playing and then a sax section is playing the band changes the color. Some instrument stop playing and some start -- all set up for the soloist to be up front.

These are examples – there are many more possibilities. I hope this sets you on fire – go beyond what I have done.
I hope this of use.

My next post will deal with using the Sound Arranger.
