ADDING INTROS AND ENDINGS TO EXISTING KN SEQUENCES

There may be occasions where you have recorded a sequence, but have for one reason or another, not used a built-in Intro or Ending. Having listened to the sequence, you may wish to add a suitable Intro and / or Ending. The following procedures describe how this can be achieved. They are based on a KN7000 but should be more or less applicable to other instruments within the Technics KN range.

Adding an Ending to an Existing KN7000 sequence

1. Load the sequence, monitor the playback and make a note of the bar number where you wish to insert the Ending. 

2. Select 'PROGRAM MENUS' > 'SEQUENCER' > 'RECORD & EDIT' > 'STEP RECORD' > CTL. Cursor forward to the start of the Bar number noted earlier in step 1 and then press the 'INTRO/ENDING' 1 or 2.

3. Press 'PROGRAM MENUS' to exit.

Adding an Intro to an Existing KN7000 sequence

This is considerably more involved, than the previous procedure. However, following the steps should assure a successful outcome.

1. Play the required Intro and check the number of bars used.  

2. Load the sequence into which you wish to add the Intro. If you are using PANEL MEMORIES, make a note of which one is selected at the start of the sequence.

3. Press 'PROGRAM MENUS' > 'SEQUENCER' > 'COPY & PASTE' > 'MEASURE INSERT'. This will select the 'Measure Insert' Page.

4. In the left 'TRACK' column of the 'FROM' window, use the Up/Down keys to change to 'ALL'

5. In the 'FIRST MEASURE' column, select '4'

6. If the Intro is 4 Bars long, then in the 'LAST MEASURE' column, enter the value '7'

7. If the Intro is 3 Bars long, then in the 'LAST MEASURE' column, enter the value '6'

8. If the Intro is 2 Bars long, then in the 'LAST MEASURE' column, enter the value '5'

9. If the Intro is 1 Bar  long, then in the 'LAST MEASURE' column, enter the value '4'

10. In the 'TO' window check that the 'TRACK' is sett to 'ALL'

11. Set the 'START MEASURE' to '1' and the 'REPEAT' to '0'
12. Press 'OK' and then 'YES'. This will just insert 1,2,3 or 4 bars, by copying one or more randomly selected bars, before what was the normal start of the sequence. This creates a space at the start, for insertion of the Intro. However, these extra inserted bars contain information which we do not want, so these bars will have to be Erased, but not Deleted, leaving blank bars for the length of the sequence Intro.

13. Press 'EXIT' once to return to the Copy & Paste screen.

14. Press 'MEASURE ERASE' 

15. Set 'TRACK' to 'ALL' and  'FIRST MEASURE' to '1'

19. If the Intro is 1 Bar  Long, set 'LAST MEASURE' to '1'

20. Set 'ERASE DATA' to 'ALL',  press 'OK' and then 'YES'. We now have a number of blank bars at the start of the sequence.

21. Press 'EXIT' once to return to the Copy & Paste screen.

22. Press 'MEASURE COPY'

44. Press 'EXIT' twice to return to the Record & Edit screen.

45. Press 'NOTE EDIT' > 'APC'.

46. Below the keyboard split point, play a brief single left hand chord, related to the key in which the sequence is played. So, if the sequence is in the key of  C major, then play a C major chord. If in F Minor, play an F minor chord etc. You should see a pictorial representation of the notes played, in the left edge of the 'NOTE EDIT'  screen. You may not hear any sound as a result of playing the notes.
