Hello

I am new to this forum and really hoping someone can help me.

I currently own a Technics KN2600 (amongst other keyboards) and am trying to get older Technics KN1500 files and songs to work on my KN2600.
I have downloaded SD KN Explorer, followed the instructions and successfully managed to transfer files from my KN1500 Floppy Disks onto a 1GB SD card (formatted on the keyboard).

However when I insert the SD card into the KN2600 I get error 80 saying ' this is from a different Technics device' or something of that type and will not load these files.
These files used to work on a KN1600 (which I previously owned) and not sure if I have done something incorrectly or not compatible.

This website suggests that the KN2600 can read files from technics KN3000 keyboard onwards and the KN1600 came out after the KN3000 & KN5000 so thought this should work.

Please can someone advise as I really wanted to rescue my old songs onto SD card and finish them properly for my daughter.

Kind regards
Gurajit

Re: KN2600 not reading KN1500 files

Hi Gurajit, Welcome to the site, I have had a number of people with problems like yours, There is a number of issues with the way Technics numbered their keyboard models. The KN1500 was later than the KN3000 as the used to launch a top model then a year or so later launch the so called a"baby" models and this causes problems with Disk data compatibility. The KN1500 was a model my son had so I have quite a bit of knowledge of file transfer. May I recommend you send me a copy of a disk in question so I can see if I can uplift it to be compatible with your KN2600. I would be willing to try for you. Please let me know what you would let me know your thoughts.
Regards John

Hello John

Happy New Year and thank you ever so much for your prompt response - it's much appreciated.

It's great to know that there are some very pro-active Technics keyboard members out there who love and know these keyboards. It's a shame Panasonic/Technics stop producing these as they still sound better than some newer Yamaha & Roland Keyboards.

I would be more than happy for you to have a go and happy to send you some KN1500 files. I am at work now right now and should be home by 5pm so wanted to ask - do I just attach a file here or shall I email to you privately?

Kind regards
Gurajit
