Hi All!
Greetings from Northern Canada!

I have just purchased a Kn 2400 & am in the process of setting up the panel memories & my personal preferences, and have saved everything on a floppy disk....

A the moment when I power the board on, I am finding that it defaults to the factory settings & does not hold my set up from the previous day, so I'm having to use my floppy each day.....unlike my Kn1000 which holds the last used settings...

Where would I look for a setting that I can change so the 2400 will also hold my settings each time I power on?

Many Thanks,
FlutteringBy

Hi Again!

I think I got it figured out.....you know,when in doubt, consult the manual.... ....

I had initialized the board before I started putting in my own settings, to erase anything that had been entered at the store....

Tonight I just happened to notice, at the bottom of the Initialization page, a tiny little blurb explaining how to reset the performance items.....it seemed to have done the trick, I can now power off & on & still keep my settings....

Amazing what you can learn from these manuals....

Hi,
I would like to know your opinion about kn2400, specially comparing it with 7000. Are voices similar? Similar piano sound?
what are differences between both?

FlutteringBy is an interesting nickname to be sure

Thank you for the warm welcome BEBOP....I've enjoyed reading through the previous postings & have already found a couple of tips that I can use.....the thing that amazes me is that I've been using Technics keyboards since 1986 (this is my 4th) & I've only just found this site..... ....

Artaher, I have no experience with the 7000 & can only compare the 2400 to my old board, a Kn 1000....as you would gather, there is no comparison......the 2400 wins hands down!....so far I'm really impressed with the layout of this new board, the expanded panel memory & the sounds are incredible, needless to say, I haven't had time to play with all the bells & whistles, but each day I learn something new....

So far, I REALLY like it!.... ...

FlutteringBy,
You are from Northern Canada; so Sudbury, North Bay or even further north?
May I ask how much you paid for it in Cdn dollars? Did you compare it to the KN2600?
What does the spec mean when they say the KN2400 has 2 organ flutes? The specs say the KN2600 has organ flutes (not 2).
This is the first time I am posting on the Technics Forum. Does the fact that I own a Technics turntable count for anything?
Strakeeper

Hey Starkeeper you are welcome to the forum no matter what kind of turntable you have but the technics turntable like the Technics keyboards is the best.
I know you from the GA forum as an active poster with roland and yamaha keyboards.
Make your self to home. I am sure you can share something good with our bunch also
Best to you

Hi Starkeeper,

I'm out west, just south of the Yukon....

I paid $1800 cdn for my 2400 & as for the sounds, the specs in my manual say that the 2400 has 1024 sounds (990 sounds + 2 organ drawbars + 32 drum kits) while the 2600 has 1064 sounds (1030 sounds +2 organ drawbars + 32 drum kits)

Hope that's what you were referring to....

Bebob,
Thank you for welcoming me to the Technics forum.

I know the specs say "2 organ drawbars", but what does that mean? Usually, on a Hammond organ, there wud be 6 or 8 drawbars per manual. Does it mean there are 2 SETS of drawbars. I can't see how one could use 2 drawbars.
Starkeeper

Hi Starkeeper,

There is digital drawbar button located beneath the group of sound group buttons....when it is pressed it will then give you the choice of Jazz or Rock Drawbars & then you choose your own settings...

I haven't played with that feature yet, too many other things to check out first.....

Hope that's some of the info you're after,
