Hello,

There is an update available for the kn 7000 , namely version 1.5.
It is available at : http://www.kn7000.de/ under the topic service.
The site is in German. They provide already the second update ....version 1.4 and now 1.5.
Strange it's only them that are providing these updates.

Greetings from Belgium,
Alain

As far as I am aware, the 1.4 update was mainly concerned with modifications to the German language section of the software, so maybe Version 1.5 is a similar update. I would certainly not apply any software updates to my KN7000, until they appear on the official Technics KN7000 website and at present, there are no ROM updates posted. So far, I have not noticed any defects in the operating system - "If it ain't broke - don't fix it"

Update 1.5 is nothing to do with the German language but corrects some important "bugs" as follows:
1. Bitmap pics for HOME page can now be selected.
2. SD-Card "%age free" is now corrected
3. Drum Track with transposed files corrected for use with MIDI out.
4. Audio files on SD-Card are all now recognised.
5. The SD-Card Control File will no longer be corrupted
6. Corrections to Technichords which either don't work or produce the wrong results e.g. "add9", "madd9"
I am upgrading MY 7000 - what about you??

Hi Mike,
thanks for your info. That's one of the profits of this forum, two know more than one .
Please, may I ask the 'source' of your well-informed reply on the Rom-update?
Best regards,
Cees

Hi Cees,
I am informed by Taiyo whenever there is an upgrade and their website has full details. BTW, I just upgraded my 7000 - no problem, took around 5 minutes (it will take slightly longer for those who didn't upgrade to 1.4)

I too have just upgraded to ver 1.5 without problems.
I have had my .INF file corrupted in the past with Ver 1.3 (Load song, get wrong song) and to my knowledge, I did nothing wrong. I trust that now this will not happen again.
DON'T FORGET to back up your SD Card, I'm sure glad that I did.
Walt

After posting earlier on this thread, I contacted Christian Abel and asked for details of the upgrade and he kindly emailed me by return. The content of his email is just the same as that, in Mike O'Regan's post.
I await details of Version 1.4 and have asked his permission to publish them on this Forum.
The strange thing is, that the bugs which Version 1.5 addresses, are obviously fundamental to the KN7000 operating system, so why have they been corrected by a third party and not Technics? Furthermore, why do the updates not appear on the Official KN7000 website? Where are you Chris ??

Ok, I just got to ask this. What key sequence does one use to get the version information?

Not particular, KN or PR models doesn't matter, I'll try them all. Just curious as to know how one knows what version they have.

Thanks, Anthony
