Hi,
thanks guys for the suggestions.

mdorantes, thank you for the suggestions on the sd1+. I'm still discovering features on this keyboard, I didn't know it had. Haven't bothered with the internal sequencer as yet, I've got a few low cost p.c. sequencers that I'm a bit more familiar with, so I will stick to editing in those.

Hi Donny, I think if I need to edit & remap every single one to gm, it will take me the next 5 years ( haa haa). I've got about 400 of them. Fortunately they're all by the same manufacturer & created for a particular instrument, bad news is they're not general midi, so I thought that, instead of trying to remap the songs to gm, I'll remap my sd1 user drums & voices to the songs mapping.
Then with a bit of luck, I may only need to finetune the occassional one. Bizzare female logic?? or wishfull thinking. Probably the latter. haa haa

Hi Esh,
great idea doing mp3's. I wish that I'd thought to create some mp3 backing tracks of some of my favourite songs before I sold my KN7. Even though I kept all of my old styles, they don't convert terribly well and I can't get them sounding anywhere near as good as the original.

thanks guys.

best wishes
Rikki
