PSR to Technics style converter?

Hi All,
This is my first post here. I have become the proud owner of a KN2600 after much searching, and some research, which informed me that a KN2600 is the only keyboard that meets all of my requirements. (KN7000 would do also but its too heavy).
I have some style files from a Yamaha PSR620 that I would like to use and wondered if there is any way of converting these to Technics format - other than recording them as audio and saving to SD?
This seems like a nice place, but has a slight air of impending doom about it, so i thought I would make an observation.
Every time someone sells their Technics keyboard to buy a Tyros 2 or whatever, it creates an opportunity for someone like me to become a Technics owner. This situation is likely to continue for a very long time. A place that I work has a Technics digital piano dating from 1992. It is in use 5 days a week and is often hammered. It works perfectly and has never needed repair. Stradivarius violins are nearly as reliable I understand. From my recent experience, the price of some Technics boards could start to emulate the Strad! A year ago I could have bought a new KN2600 for a fair bit less than I paid for mine, and that was £220 less than one I just missed from a keyboard showroom. They seem to be snapped up like hot cakes. You couldn't part me from mine for all the tea in Tottenham - I couldn't replace it.
Great sounds, terrific build quality, more features than you can shake a stick at and SD audio!
I am very happy! Be of good cheer!
What we do need however, is a very fine Technics instrument restorer. Does anyone Know of one? Maybe the instruments are so reliable he/she wouldn't get much work.
Sorry to rant!
Cheers,
s.

Hi Sturgeon Welcome to our friendly little group. You are quite right in your observation of a buying opportunity being created. I don't know if I would quite agree with your doomsday theory, although there is always more buzz when new keyboards come out.
We all lament the fact that Technics won't be coming out with a new model, but should not deter us from keeping this forum alive and vibrant by exchanging ideas,music, and commraderie.
Bernie

Hi Bernie, have to agree with you on that one. I was dumb enough to sell my KN7 about 18 months ago. At that stage I no longer had the time to spend on it ( personal reasons). I should have just put it in it's box & left it. Instead I sold it. Now that everythings nearly back to normal, I wish I still had it. Sometimes wonder if the people dashing out to trade their KN's in, might regret it in the long run. I may have the oppotunity of picking up a KN2600. Have to wait & see how I go. best wishes Rikki Originally posted by Bernie9: We all lament the fact that Technics won't be coming out with a new model, but should not deter us from keeping this forum alive and vibrant by exchanging ideas,music, and commraderie.
