Well, Douglas Dean, I think you are growing flat a nonsense globe.

I am not a stupid man, nor a yamaha agent or something like this, as you seem to think. I know perfectly SD CARD technology is far better than old floppies. And, from my experience and knowing, I think KN (and Roland) keyboards are, in a lot of aspects, far better than Yamahas. So, I don't know where does it comes from your intriguing suspects about me or my hidden intentions. It is only your mind.

I have a Roland kb, played some KN, Yamaha and Roland keyboards. Perhaps this year I will buy a new one, probably KN (or a new Roland if there is one this year, I will see), but not Yamaha (although Yamaha plays styles directly from floppy), I played Yamahas and don't like, listen Douglas, I don't like Yamahas, ok?

And so, I like to know more and compare. What a sin!! I read some forum writings referring no user area in kn2600/2400, and someone said me that KNs do not play styles directly from flopy or sd card. Because of that, I asked for a specific question about modern KNs, that is, managing external styles. And gave an opinion, a simple personal opinion: There is an advantage if an arranger keyboard may play external styles directly, from floppy or sd card, without to have loading them before.

You put in my mouth words I never said. You said my intention was “To tell you your keyboard’s are thus deficient, or maybe technics is second rate because they don’t follow the Yamaha way of doing things”. Nobody spoke about “deficiency”, only you. I never “claim with great authority the KN’s have a great deficiency” as you say. You said my intent was“to tell us our KN’s are inferior to Yamaha’s floppy’s compared to the KN’s SD cards” It is not true, of course, nobody compare floppys with sd cards; afterwards KN2400 have not sd card, only floppy, and someone said that time for loading a style from KN2400 floppy is 15 sec. I only said KNs have a disadvantage in the specific aspect to not playing styles directly from floppy (or sd card). And this statement has been said also to me for a friend and KN player. Technics are better than Yamaha in much other areas. What’ s the problem? Nobody compare Technics and Yamaha at all, only at a specific aspect. Nobody said Technics is deficient: to tell me stupid because to have said something I haven’t said is a stupidity so.

Your words, and your words “that will not spell it out” are a few offensive, honestly. I gave an opinion (perhaps wrong) about an aspect of a keyboard; you give an aggresive opinion, and not only about another opinion, but about a person, me. Great difference! Really, it is you wich seem to be a Technics agent, and not me a Yamaha or other agent. You (or Technics and you, it seems to be the same) feel be attacked by me, and I never had that intention at all. Why do you feel yourself attacked? That would be a good question.

Best wishes
