Technics KN7000 · Sequencer and recordingRecord with Easy Record

Easy Record

The sequencer is the KN7000’s built-in recorder. It holds 10 songs of up to 16 tracks each, with room for about 40,000 notes across all of them. Source: Manual, p. 207

Each track holds one part of the recording, such as the right-hand sound, the left-hand sound or the chords for the accompaniment. Source: Manual, p. 78

A style is the keyboard’s ready-made backing band: drums, plus bass and accompaniment parts. The bass and accompaniment play when Auto Play Chord is on, and follow the chords played with the left hand. Source: Manual, pp. 49, 53

Easy Record starts a recording without the sequencer’s set-up screens. It records the whole performance, Auto Play Chord included. Source: Manual, pp. 24, 79

The EASY REC and PLAY buttons are in the SEQUENCER section, at the top right of the panel. Source: Manual, p. 24

Keeping the recording

• With the power off, sequencer songs are kept for about 80 minutes. The backup only protects them once the keyboard has been on for about 10 minutes. Source: Manual, p. 198
• To keep a recording longer, save it to an SD card or floppy: Save your work to a card or floppy. Source: Manual, p. 198
• Loading from a card or floppy replaces what’s in the keyboard’s memory. Save a recording before loading anything. Source: Manual, p. 202
• When the sequencer’s memory is full, nothing more can be recorded. Clearing a song or a track makes room. Source: Manual, p. 201
