Technics KN2600 Update:

Good morning to all. After a little investigation (and a good Translation software) , I have found the information that Scott requested.

First off let me say that the KN2600 uses "Standard SD Media Cards" NOT the 'Mini SD Digital'. The Mini SD Digital format's capacity is 256Mb as I stated in my previous post.^ But since the KN2600 uses regular SD "Secure Digital" Cards it will indeed be able to use Cards up to 1Gig in size! Talk about your almost Hard Drive capacity (it is actually bigger 'in capacity' than some Hard Drives made even today "like IBM's Micro Drive") that is "removable" and supports Audio files not just, let's say, Midi only like Floppy Drives on a Keyboard basically only do. A Giant leap forward folks!!

Now the 40 'extra' sounds on the KN2600 are actually 40 extra "Styles", ie., Music Accompaniment backing style files. There are no "pumped up" or Super Voices like some people may consider Yammie's Sweet!, Live!, and Cool! voices are, on the KN2600. I myself don't consider the Sweet!, Live!, and Cool! voices in that way like I would the Mega Voices, which imo are extraordinary in sound quality. Too bad you are not able to play them effectively on the Tyros. Maybe you WILL be able to on the new Motif ES. We shall see.

Summer NAMM 2003. July 18th-20th. Nashville, TN USA. Nine days and counting...
