Hi Audrey, I love the "Sunday Night" style you sent me recently. Were you able to load it into your PR 903? If so could you let me know the procedure? Some time ago I sent a style called "Old Organ" to you and a few other Zoners. I have been able to link it with "Sunday Night" and it sounds great. Let me know if you have not already done same and I will try to guide you through the maze to achieve same. Or maybe Bill Norrie, Bill Hendershot, Harry Gunther et al will oblige. Ray

Hello Ray,
As I have the PR900 and not the PR903, I haven't tried it, but in view of the age of my piano I would think its older system wouldn't recognise the style. However, when I get a minute, I'll try it to see what happens. Will keep you posted on this one.
Audrey
PS I didn't receive the Old Organ, possibly because my computer has been down yet again, but would appreciate it if you would send it again - thanks in advance. Audrey

Hello Audrey, i went back trough my old postings to check when I sent it, but could not find any info. Harry certainly did receive it because he replied with some modifications of his own. I will let you have it shortly. It is one of my favourite "safe" sounds (similar to Blackpool Tower).

Thank you Harry, it would be good to receive the 'Old Organ' from either you or Ray.
Whilst I like the organ, my first love is the piano but I have a friend who is an 'organ nut' as we call him at the Club. He collects anything to do with organs, goes to all the local Clubs and Concerts and uses an organ sound with almost everything he plays. His second love is Marches and yes! you've guessed it - they're all played using the organ but, I hasten to say, he knows exactly how to make the organ 'talk' and its a pleasure to listen to him playing.

Hello Harry, Could you send it to Audrey and Giovanni please. It will save me reading The "Dummies for Computers" manual. Thanks, I thought you might respond!!!
Ray had sent me the rhythm 8Bt Soft Rock and the sound Old organ. I have made rhythm and sound together (Single Load).
In the 40 memory locations I added sounds edited by me. Place 1 - 10 different organ sounds. Place 11-20 sax sounds. Place 21-30 guitars and accordion sounds. Place 31-35 clarinet sounds.
Panel on Memory 1 is 8Bt soft rock and old organ. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Nigel,
Harry sent it to me but Windows security deemed it 'iffy' and blocked it so I cannot unzip the attachment. Don't ask me why - I've no idea.
I have informed Harry of this and expect he will reply shortly. If all else fails, I have an organ style actually called 'Blackpool Tower' and to me, it sounds like the old Reginald Dixon type organ. I suspect Ray/Harry's will sound much the same.

Good idea Nigel. I'm a lover and a golfer, too old to get educated on computers, so I have to rely on others for the intricate stuff. Ray PS incidentally, my big brother came across this style in a Sound Memory which came with some other bits and pieces for the KN7. Others may already have it if they search deep enough???? Ray

Hello Harry,
Just to let you know I was successful in opening the 'Old Organ' with the help of Fred Mellinck's KN SD Explorer Tool and how wrong can you be? I was expecting something like the Blackpool Tower Organ but no! it is indeed a very old organ sound.
My musical 'talent' stems from a long line of ancestors one of which, was my uncle who used to play a Wurlitzer which came up from the floor in The Victoria Cinema in Cambridge (sadly long gone). He also had an organ that he made himself which sounded just like the 'Old Organ' does so it brought back many happy memories. When the old 78 and 33 records became cheaper to buy, he also made himself a radiogram (am I showing my age? ha! ha!) I used to spend hours listening to the same old 'scratchy' records but at that time, it was 'cool' as they say nowadays.
Thank you very much for it.
Nigel - if you still want a copy, please let me know.

Hi Nigel,
I thought I sent it to you via a private email. I just tried to attach it but got a pop-up about some woman working from home. It was a devil of a job getting rid of it. Took about 6 clicks on the various pop-ups to get rid of it. What's this all about I wonder.
Anyway, check your mail and let me know if you receiv it.
