Panel memories

A panel memory stores the panel’s current settings: the sounds on each part, the style, the tempo, the effects and the volumes. Pressing its number button recalls them. Source: Manual, pp. 22, 65

The KN7000 has 13 banks of 8 panel memories: banks A, B and C, then banks 1 to 10. That’s 104 memories. Source: Manual, pp. 22, 207

The panel is the area above the keys with the buttons, sliders, dial and display. The PANEL MEMORY buttons are on the right of the panel, near the bottom. Source: Tested on a KN7000
