non-sequencer

Never produced sequenced music - and no intention of trying - too complicated for my little brain - but got this sudden irrational need to produce music as follows :-

1. record a backing track, e.g. drums and bass from a style.

2.Live play a right hand melody, say trumpet, piano or what have you and record this onto the backing track while that is playing.

3.Add accompaniment track -left or right hand play - this could be strings or piano chords onto the above.

4, Playback and enjoy, or in my case likely to wince.

Is this possible on the kn7000 and if so how would I go about it?

Peter

Ah Peter
What a shame you didn't manage to get along to the recent KN7000 convention in Cambridge - we covered all that and much much more.
Now let's see if one of those that did attend can remember what they were taught...Audrey...Joan...alright, go on Bill.

Hi there - this was indeed covered at Cambridge by Bill abd in its simplest form when he was showing Peter how to play a counter melody to the song, "You're just in love".

I am sure, that Bill will be only too pleased to answer this thread, so over to your capable hands Bill.............Joan

Hi Peter,

You say that you have no intention of using the sequencer - in that case, it is not really possible to achieve your desired result I can assure you, that it is NOT complicated...........

If you are willing to give it a try, I'll produce a procedure for you.

Bill presentation of building a style at our last jam was a terrific presentation with a great handout for practicing at home. Bill is "Master of the Sequencer".

Hi Bill,
If you can teach me to something technical - you are a genius Yes please.

Peter

OK Peter - I'll be in touch. I'm a bit busy at present with gigs and other things but I'll get to it ASAP.............

BILL......

If it is not too much trouble.....would you send the info to me as well? This is something I have not been able to figure out. I am not much of a techie!

ELIZABETH

I have a better idea. Why don't we go over it in person at our Jam in Florida Mar. 18,19,and 20th.

Bernie

BERNIE..... Great idea, bet you live in FL.

My home base is in extreme S.E. New Mexico & my motor home gets an average of 5 mpg of diesel fuel.... about 1500 miles to FL and another back..... Will you pay for my fuel both ways????

The internet is a great communication tool for so many who just cannot manage one on one jam sessions all the way across the country....and the big pond.

It is still a great idea for those who can to include this portion in the Spring FL gathering.

ELIZABETH

Hey Bill Norrie,

From the comments here, it seems that there are many of us who would like to know how to sequence. So, why don't you post the techniques you taught at the jam either here--(perhaps in a ZIP format or other way to save space)--or just develop a mailing list to forward such great ideas to all who want to be included. Still another suggestion, you could post the information on your great web site! Please let us know how we can share this information.

By the way, were there other techniques, etc. shared at the jam that might be useful to us all who were unable to attend?

Further to my comments above, there is already a tutorial on the KN7000 sequencer, on the Tech Tips page of my website (Tip #22) It was presented at the last Florida Jam by Jim Helwig and with his permission, I added it to my Tech Tips page.
When I get some time, I will address the specific issue of adding extra tracks to an existing sequence and publish the document on my Tech Tips page - hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

Hi Elizabeth
I realize there are constraints imposed by cost of travel, and yes I live in Florida.
On the otherhand, it is always nice to get together with other Synthzone members. You have been around for years, and one day maybe I will get to meet you.
