Hello Kelmijoel,

When I download midi files, I save it to 'Desktop' then I insert a new floppy disk, right click, scroll down to 'Copy Disk' and press o.k. Once the data has been copied to the floppy, put it in the KN2000 and load making sure you are loading to SMF
(Standard Midi File) and NOT to Technics Format.

Hope this helps.

Its Still The Same Thing, Same Message, Like The Floppy Its Not For This Keyboard
Even If I Put A New Floppy I Including Put A Tape On The Floppy And Its Still The Same Problem, If I Format The Floppy Using The Keyboard The Keyboard Recognized The Floppy Really Good, But When I Go To The Computer To Put A Midi In The Floppy The Computer Doesnt Reconized The Floppy And Ask You To Format The Floppy And How Do I Make The Keyboard Look For SMF.

Btw, this sort of problems are most likely due to bad
compability between old and new OS and hardware.
It's a big step from old 8 or 16 bits OS and software to
i.e. 64 bits Vista etc.

Hello again,

I think the problem could be the floppies you are using. If I remember correctly the first keyboards to use floppies for data storage used 2DD, so if you are using 2HD whatever you do will not work because they will not be comapitable with your KN2000. Sadly the 2DD floppies are no longer available in the shops but you could try Cash Converter, Second-hand shops or even car boot sales.

I once got 10 fully loaded 2DD floppies from a car boot sale for my friend whose old organ used them. All we did was re-format them in his organ after which he was able to use them in the normal way.

Good luck!

Modern floppy Disks have two holes
The old original floppy Disks (when the KN2000 and SMAC 1200 were introduced) only had one.
Try covering the left hand hole with sticky tape - worked many times for me.

Thanks Tony But I Already Did That Ans Its Still The Same Thing.

I Will Try To Get The 2DD Floppy Another Question It Is Important To Have Windows 98 For Transfer And Format Floppy For Midi And Use It On KN2000 Or It Could Be Any Windows Cause I Have Windows Vista.

Hi.

In my reply above I refer to another tread who discuss similiar
problem as you have.
The solution that time was to use Win98. (Win2000 will do fine too)
It's all about bits and bytes.

Happy Playing
