Alec, I agree totally with you. Single loads of custom memory files was the way I initially filled the custom memory locations. Back when I was playing older keyboards, I routinely filled custom memory with styles that I would use for the next hour or so. I used any trick I could think of, to avoid loading from disk. It just took too long. . .

Now, I only use custom memory to store some generic stuff that I sometimes use as a starting point for setting up the keyboard for a song or a medley. But, once I have the keyboard set up, I always save it to a SD memory location and then forget what I had in custom memory from that point on for that song. I also have a set of memory locations in my SD card that contain generic styles like Latin, or Big Band Slow, and that sort of thing. I used to keep that stuff in Custom Memory. On rare occasions, I might use some of the custom memory stuff for playing songs at random for which I don’t have a previously planned setup, but most often use the generic area of my SD card for that purpose.

Bill, I am curious to know how you find custom memory useful with the KN7000. There’s still a lot of stuff this old guy can learn.
