If any of you KN7000 owners have tried to transfer a batch of MIDI Files directly from a PC folder to an SD Card, using a Card Reader/Writer and just copying or Drag/Drop, you will have found that the KN7000 does not recognise the MIDI files.

I have added a procedure to the Tech Tips page of my website (Tip number 30) which explains how to transfer a batch of MIDI files to an SD Card, using your PC.

I am indebted to Alec Pagida for supplying this procedure and allowing me to add it to my website.

Great stuff Bill and thanks Alec...

Bill - could you remind me the correct way to permanently change the key of a midi file and save it as changed on the KN7000.

No problem Rog......

1. Load MIDI file to sequencer as normal and check the number of measures by playing through.

2. Press Program Menus > Sequencer > Range Edit > Transpose.

3. Set Track to ALL : First measure to 1 : Last measure to the number of measures found in step 1.

4. Set Transpose to the number of semitones Up or Down, you wish to transpose the key.

5. Press OK > Yes - All tracks will be transposed. This will include the Drum track as well, which should not be transposed, otherwise it may result in some strange effects!

6. To correct the Drum track - which is normally Track 10, set Track to 10, leave the First and Last Measure settings as before and set the Transpose value to the opposite sign of that used in step 4. i.e if the value used in step 4 was +2 then set Transpose to -2 and press OK > Yes. This will return the Drum Track to normal.

7. Save the transposed MIDI sequence back to SD Card / Disk - preferrably to a new location.

you can save time and avoid step 1 by just spinning the wheel to 200 or 300 for the last measure (few normal songs are that long). The software will just ignore measures that "aren't there" and work just the same.

Good point Alec So read step one as :

1.Load MIDI file to sequencer as normal.
