Hi Elizabeth

When I create a CD from my KN7 - this could be "on the fly" or previously saved KN7 recordings.

I connect, with the appropriate leads, from my Line output from the KN7 into a Philips CDR796 CD Recorder

Insert a Blank CD into recorder. Select Analogue input on recorder. At the appropriate prompt from the recorder I start the KN7 "song" to be recorded and when it has finished I then press the STOP RECORD. I repeat this - one recording at a time, until I wish to finalize the CD. Just the same sort of procedure when you are recording from any other audio protocol.

The symbols for stop record etc., are very similar to the ones on VHS/DVD recorders when recording from or playing to TVs.

The Recorder is not just for recording from keyboards. It is a commercial player that could also record from Radio, Tape decks, presumably record decks etc. It has two drives I could if I wished copy one CD to another. I personally use the PC to copy the finished CDs as it is quicker.

The particular model I have has now been discontinued. I would imagine that with the advent of the DVD recorders and PC software there is not much demand for the CD format At the moment you can still see these for sale on EBAY.

Is the above the sort of explanation you were asking me?

From the point of view of you having no floppy disk drive - I am not sure whether they are available but I would have thought you could purchase an external USB one? This would not solve your recording problem but at least would help to download things from PC directly to floppy.
