Does anybody here know of or use Polderbits for recording from the KN 7000 to the computer? It was suggested to me that I download it, but my computer keeps giving me a message that it is "malware" and I am unable to do so. I'm looking for a good program to use because the Technics software does not work in newer computers with upgrades in its OS. Thanks for any assistance.

Nothing wrong with Polderbits Ted, but here's another option - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Hi Ted, just to agree with Roger,Audacity is a great program and easy to use,even better is that they are still working on future extra add-on's so development is still improving.
Regards John.

Like Roger suggested Audacity is a great free alternative for PC recording software. You can't go wrong using that.

Thanks to all of you who took time to respond. Have downloaded both programs, this time without any problems. Anxious to try them out!

As I already wrote, I now have both Polderbits and Audacity downloaded. (Just got an email message that the latter (Audacity) has been updated). One last question: when I connect my KN 7000 to my computer what plugs do I use from the keyboard and to the computer? Again, thanks for all you conti8nued assistance always!

Hi Ted - As far as the keyboard is concerned you can either use the stereo headphones socket or the two main out mono sockets in the rear of your keyboard.
As far as the computer is concerned you are looking for a microphone-in point and it may well be a smaller socket point so getting a length of cable to match the holes is a challenge...

You can find a cheap adapter to convert any type of plug into another.

As usual, the answer to my query! This place is unbelievable and I am constantly amazed at the knowledge and willingness to share that I always find! Thank you again, my dear friends. My appreciation is boundless!

Hi Ted, If you have already installed the USB drivers for the Panasonic SD card reader you can just use the USB lead to transfer
either audio or data for SD explorer.
Regards John
P.S. I use this for the audio input to Audacity and the audio output from the KN7 is digital down the USB cable so no conversion in KN to analog and back again in the computer to give a digital signal to record.
