Gucci,

Here's how to record the following time signature in the KN5000:

9/8: choose 3/4 (3 bars of 3/4 is equivilent to one bar of 9/8)
12/8: choose 3/4 (4 bars of 3/4 is equivilent to one bar of 12/8)

7/8: There is NO EASY way to achieve this but
... it CAN be done. Here's how:

Create two Composer memory patterns:
Variation 1: 4/4
Variation 2: 3/4

Go into "REALTIME" Record mode 
Select a slower than normal record tempo
Set track #5 (Control Track) ONLY to REC (record) mode
Press "Display Hold" button to keep current window from changing
Select Variation 1
Press START/STOP button (Recording begins)
At end of first measure - press Variation 2
At end of second measure - press Varation 1
Toggle back and forth for sufficient number of measures to complete song
When completed.... select "REC Stop"

Go back to the begining of the song and record APC Chords
and or tracks RT1, RT2 etc as needed. Be sure that Track #5 (CTL) is set to PLAY mode.

An alternate way of achieving the above is to record
the above variation 1 and variation 2 control track
changes in "STEP RECORD" Mode.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
