Hello Khai,
I must take issue with you, with regard to your comments above 
Since the Technics keyboards appear to a computer like an External disc drive, it would not be possible to connect any other kind of disc drive to the USB port. It would be like connecting one disc drive directly to another and expecting them to be able to transfer data between themselves.
Whilst external USB Floppy disc drives do exist, I cannot understand how you can compare the performance and capacity of such a device, with that of an SD card!
Hi Bill Willum,
I would like to apologize to you for the misunderstanding. I used the term USB drives to mean only those that rely on digital storage without moving parts, as opposed to disk drives (such as the floppy disk drives and hard disk drives).
Our Technics keyboards will be something far inferior and functionally restricted if they merely "appear to a computer like an External disc drive". Let's hope that we don't underestimate or think of our intelligent keyboard as a mere receptacle of data, or an underdog or slave, even for something as complicated as a system exclusive dump. The business is more than just data transfer and storage. How a USB device appears to a computer is up to the device, the device driver(s) and other supporting software(s). A USB device may also be a USB drive but not vice versa. Connect your KN7000 or KN2600 to your computer via USB 2.0 and discover for yourself gradually the many-splendoured things that spark between the keyboard and computer. . . . . It is a love affair more vividly told, unfurled and sped up many times.
Kind Regards,
KHAI
