A few years ago a series of disks called the
Americana Series was discontinued. I know
there were disks for organ and piano, but was
wondering if they ever made any for the keyboard? I have several for my G-100 organ and really like them, and now I have a KN6500 and if anyone knows if there were disks made for the keyboard would appreciate
hearing from you.
Thanks

Thanks

Hi Mary,
they did make them right up to the kn5 ( I think ) . Not sure if they're still available though.

My local dealer had quite a range ( problem is I'm in Australia).

I too am interested in the Americana disks, even if is for my 3000. So if anyone knows if they are still available please let us know
Thanks

Technote had those disks, but if there are any more left
I'm unsure about.
Maybe a peek in theyr webshop will tell, but there are no
more production of this serie anymore if
the info I got earlier is correct.
Sad, because it really was/is good stuff.

Americana disks are no longer available unless you can find a dealer that still has some on the shelf.
I agree they are really well produced style disks

Well if they are no longer produced, does that mean they can be legally shared..hint..if you have any ..well, never mind.

Hi Larry,
interesting question.
The last one I saw goes back to the kn5, which goes back at least 5 years. Be interesting to know when they stopped producing them for sale.
Copyrights a bit of a frightener.

If you thinking about the copyrights, I think
they still are valid.
I don't remember how many years it is before
it's free for all.

A kind member has sent me a sample of an Americana Style, but on the KN3000, it displays "the data on the disk is for a different product".

So a general question, not only pretaining to these particular styles, but all styles.

Is there a way of knowing what keyboard styles were made for. Can I load the style disk on my computer, look at the styles and say ..oh yea... these are for the 5000, or the 6000, etc? How can I tell?

The Americana series was the only way to get extra styles for a while, until you learned to find styles on the internet and convert them. Even then, the converted styles couldn't hold a candle to the Technics styles! The series started way back, and was upgraded with the arrival of the new keyboards. If I could find my old catalog in this stack of papers etc., it would tell me if the series ended with the kn1500/3000 keyboards or went on to the kn3000/5000. They could be upgraded to your new kn6000 by loading them into a kn5000 and saving out to disk, loading into a kn6000 and again, saving them to disk. A long and tiresome process, but at $35 a disk for only five styles, you didn't throw them away. I know my dealer still has quite a few of them in a box stuffed behind one of the keyboards, so if anyone wants to deal, they may be able to buy a few. They have been used for store demos, but should do the job. Of course, if they are for the kn1500/3000, you'll need a kn5000 handy for upgrading. Wouldn't the kn7000 load and play the old styles? If I had one left, I'd send it out to someone to try, just to satisfy my curiosity.
