Bill Norrie Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 2330 Loc: North Yorkshire UK	I have received another email from Chris Whitehead, clarifying the UK Update procedure.

Mike Beaven will only accept calls from Dealers for requests for Updates." ------------------ Willum _________________________ Willum After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music.

Bud Whipple Member Registered: 01/17/02 Posts: 480 Loc: The Plantation, Leesburg, Flor...	Well, Version 1.6 exists, that's for sure. My new KN7000 lists the operating version as 1.6, but that's no help for those without the update disks.You're welcome to come here and use my keyboard.

Brucey Junior Member Registered: 01/16/04 Posts: 14 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	No point in contacting Chris Whitehead - he has never answered me. In Australia they post the updates on the Tehcnics website for downloading. I have always done my own updates Bruce Quote: Originally posted by Bill Norrie: I have just received an email from Chris Whitehead, at Technics UK. with reference to KN7000 Operating System Updates : QUOTE. "As you are probably aware, we monitor places like Synthzone and I have recently noticed complaints about lack of a UK Update for the KN7000 operating system. In the UK we have always asked UK customers to contact there Technics Dealer,(preferably the one from whom they purchased the Keyboard) to ask for the latest software update. This is mainly because the disks are made at Technics UK and are fully tested and certified. I understand that Synthzone members may be very computer literate and are competent at doing this, however we have many more customers who either do not own a computer or are not competent enough to do this. We have had many complaints from customers who have downloaded updates from various websites in the past and wiped or corrupted the operating system, during the updating process and have not been able to restore it, with out our assistance. Can I also offer my Email Address, which I believe has been posted here before. If any one in the UK has any issues with Technics Keyboards or the service we provide please contact me at chris.whitehead@panasonic.co.uk"
