Anyone know why the http://www.technicskn7000.com/home.asp is down? This has happened before but came back online. Just curious to know if this temporary or permanent.

Thanks Keith!!!

technicskn7000.com has gone forever since no more hosting fees will be forthcoming.

What about Technote.com ?
Nothing.

I know they changed to Technotemusic.com to promote their own organs but does that mean the original Technote site is finished?

No more software and accessories from Technote for Technics?

I quess all these Technics sites shutting down truly mark the end.

Thanks

Hi Alec,

Further to your recent post, indicating that the web site has closed, I have around 90 MB of webspace currently available, which is free from any hosting fees. I would be willing to make this space available to post the files, if you still have the basic file data which was on the KN7000 site. If 90 MB is not sufficient space, I can obtain another complete website with total space of 150 MB - again free of hosting fees.

I realise that most current members of Synthzone have probably downloaded many of the files which were available, but it seems a shame not to make them available to people who have not had this privilege.

I don't know if there are any copyright issues...........

What are your thoughts ??

Cheers

they are changing servers so will be down a few days but can still be reached via http://www.musicextras.com/home.asp

the styles will still be Panasonic copyright even though EMID has closed. I would not imagine they would mind but can't say for sure, but you would have to disclose sources etc to remain legal. The original customs are all on the cd that came with my 'Getting The Most From Your KN7000' book, and naturally I have all the updates archived. However just the 2 main sd backup files are nearly 50MB, so without actually working it out 150MB may not be enough for everything.

Thanks for your reply Alec. I've emailed Panasonic outlining my offer and asked for their reaction. Meanwhile, I've had a look at the content of your CD and would suggest the following files be included - subject to Panasonic's permission.
Backups Folder : 21.7MB
KN2000 preset styles Folder : 2.98MB
KN3000 preset styles Folder : 2.34MB
KN5000 preset styles Folder : 4.71MB
KN6500 preset styles Folder : 2.91MB
KN7000 new styles Folder : 2.63MB
Cleared Custom Folder : 302KB
Adding the KN2600 preset styles, in .sdb format, which I downloaded from the kn7000.com site some time ago : 3.72MB

Total space approx 41.5MB

Including the 'Total KN7000 64MB Card' file in Zip format, would add a further 17.13MB, raising the total required space to around 59MB.

I realise that there is some duplication of files, but this does allow some flexibility to users, who may only require styles from particular KN models.

The above does not include the Promotional Slideshow, .WAV and MP3 files, which are on the CD. However, I don't recall these being available on the KN7000.com website.

I tried to contact you by email, rather than clog up the forum with this content, but my message was bounced back as undeliverable - I assume you have changed your address

the book cd has contents, demos and "music in screen" slideshows exclusive to the book, obviously this content is not applicable to this discussion, and is copyrighted and should not be reproduced.

The original styles in custom and single custom format and sd backups require around 40MB of space. Additionally the styles were increased later and composer/panel memory versions added in self extractor (and zip for Mac owners) versions for PR piano as well as 7k/2400 etc. This requires maybe 80MB of space. The sd backups require maybe an additional 50Mb of space. Since Technote had exclusive rights to retail a sd card pre-copied with the styles their permission would also probably be required.
