Hello Ray,

What is the make and model of your piano? I have the Technics PR900 Electric Piano and I've now had time to look through my Technics Floppies and find that in Patterns & Registrations Vol.6 there are two Boleros
No.5 is Bolero 3/4 and No.6 is Bolero 4/4.
Would you be able to use either of these?

Let me know.

Audrey

At last I've had a chance to try the Bolero style which Gunnar converted, but I'm afraid it will not load on my KN7000 So I expect it will not load on your piano Ray............

Gunnar, I can send you a 'fresh' copy if you wish, just in case the original got corrupted, in transfer.

Any messages like other instrument or something when try load the style Bill?
Sure, we'll try again, just pass over the file. Sorry I cannot test myself as
I don't have Technics myself anymore, but usually convert between models of
the same brand works good, often far better than between different brands.

Cheers

G'day folks,
Audrey first. My piano is a PR903, I will check again, but I really want Ravel's rhythm.
Bill and Gunnar, the response I got from my piano and a 6K was.....Error; 1, An error occurred while loading please try again. It did not say it was for another product, so it must be very close to right.I thought it might be operator failure, but obviously that is not the case. I will try it on another 6K or KN6500 if I can find one. Thanks for your efforts so far.
Ray
I wonder how those with a 7K faired trying to load your file Bill??

Btw, when convert, I got a message that Sound memorey file, (.tm) was missing.
That's probably not the reason why the file don't load. Anyway, I've redone the
coversion with the same files I got from Ray, converted With different settings
just so you can see if it will load. Look in maibox.
Cheers

Hi Gunnar,
I tried both 'Zipped' versions which you kindly emailed to me, but I just get the same error message as reported by Ray

I note that the Composer part of the converted files (.CMP), is much smaller than the original .CMP part. The original, which includes Composer Memories A, B and C is 13,125 bytes, whereas the converted Composer part of the file is only 4114 bytes.
There was no .TM part in the original - only .LSW, .PMT, SQT, .ACT and .CMP. In fact, the lengths of all the parts of the converted file, are considerably different to the original file, so it looks like either the conversion process did not work correctly or the file which you received from Ray, somehow got corrupted in the transfer??
I'll email you another copy to try - if you have the time............

Thanks for your efforts Gunnar

My pleasure sir.
New files in your mailbox, and some other tests added to try out.
Changes in filesize is normal, as it is between different models files, even in
factory made stuff.
The fault we see might as well be a sofwarebug, if so, I'll give the author a
message about it.

Happy Playing
GJ

Hi folks , I've just had a look at my emc style universal 2000 conversion soft- ware prog and clicking on the configuration button all the popular makes of manufactures keyboards and models are listed ,including all the KN Technics range .......but no PR range is listed !!

this may well mean that it is not possible to convert from Kn to the PR model .

An e mail to Klaus at EMC software Germany will settle this discussion once and for all .

If you would like the e mail address for e mc software ...just send me an e mail .

Regards ......giovanni

What to use as target for convert depends on the compability between PR and KN's.
So i.e. if a PR read KN6000/6500 files, the option for KN6000/65000 should do fine.
