*** HELP WANTED ***
The Gotek Floppy Disc Emulator was installed last night Thursday 8th November (by my Son John who is a computer repairer and who installed the same type of GOTEK Emulator on my Technics GA3 Organ which works well) and the Gotek Emulator seemed to be recognised by the Technics KN6000 Keyboard, but when a new Formatted USB stick was inserted into the drive, the Keyboard Screen changed to the Load and Save Screen as the USB Stick flashed but then came up with the warning message NO DISC PRESENT. After a few tries with a different USB stick it registered it as being present and I saved a file to it.
I had copied my original KN6000 floppy discs to my hard drive on my Desktop computer and these were saved onto a pre-formatted USB stick in various Floppy Disc Sections, and when inserted into the Floppy Emulator on the Technics KN6000 keyboard, they load OK.
HOWEVER
ANYTHING on the Technics KN6000 Keyboard, that I save onto any of my THREE NEW USB sticks (and I have two different Brands here), using the GOTEK EMULATOR WILL NOT RE-LOAD onto the Keyboard afterwards as a warning notice that says.
" THE DATA ON THE DISC YOU ARE USING IS FOR A DIFFERENT PRODUCT "
Now this is saved FROM the Technics KN6000 Keyboard and is definitely NOT from a different product. I have tried using a Factory Reset on the Keyboard but I still have the problem. Can any of you help please?
NOTE I have the SAME emulator on my Technics GA3 and that is fine.
Robin.

Re: KN6000 USB Floppy Emulator Problem
Hi Robin, I have heard of this before when the early days of emulators was causing problems, ie:;- that the USB stick had to be formatted in a special way and the stick supplied with the emulator was already pre formatted. I did not take that much notice at the time as I was working on the site trying to find copies of manuals etc. so it may well have been a couple of years ago. I would try contacting Gotek as they should have the correct Jumper settings for the KN6000. One thing did your Emulator come with any special software to allow you to set up new USB sticks?
Regards John.

Re: KN6000 USB Floppy Emulator Problem
Hi John. Thank you for your quick response.
The Gotek Emulator is the SAME model as that which was fitted onto my Technics GA3 organ earlier this year.
Model: SFR1M44-U100K
There was no USB stick with either that one or the one purchased for my KN6000, and no instructions.
I formatted a brand new USB stick on the keyboard and it formatted OK into the 100 Disc spaces.
If I save anything onto that stick, it saves OK and the file can be seen. However even if the USB stick is NOT REMOVED from the KN6000 and the keyboard has NOT been turned off, when trying to reload one of the saved files, I get the error message,
" THE DATA ON THE DISC YOU ARE USING IS FOR A DIFFERENT PRODUCT "
Which does not make a lot of sense as it has all been kept together.
I have sent this information to GOTEK in India, and hope that they can shine some light on it.
This could be a long winded suck it and see period ha ha ha.
By the way, I have NOT tried to used the USB sticks that are from my GA3 Organ, and neither am I trying to load GA3 files onto the KN6000. I am purposely keeping them separate and that also goes for the files saved on my Desktop Computer.
Thansk again for you support here my friend.
Robin.

Re: KN6000 USB Floppy Emulator Problem
Thank you John.
I have just created and printed out a Testing Sheet of things to do with the USB in the Emulator in the Keyboard and various trials including using the Desktop where I will list the results and also the content of the files in case there is a missing part so that I can analyse the issues properly my friend.
If I have to get access to the Emulator by opening the keyboard again, it is major surgery as our John struggled with some of the deep set screws and had to magnetize his screwdriver a few times to get them out.
I will see how I get on. Meantime I do appreciate your help here my friend.
Robin.

Re: KN6000 USB Floppy Emulator Problem
*** Thanks For The Help ***
This is just to let you know that I HAVE sorted out the issue I was having on my Technics KN6000 Keyboard with the GOTEK Emulator fitted.
The Keyboard was saving the files (settings) OK, BUT when I tried to LOAD them back into the KN6000 with the Goteck Emulator, I got an error message on the screen that said that
" THE DATA ON THE DISC YOU ARE USING IS FOR A DIFFERENT PRODUCT "
Well after a lot of trial and error I discovered that the Error message was/is FALSE
The files HAVE BEEN LOADING onto the KN6000.
The Error message must just be tripped by something in the system but saving and loading is OK.
I am kicking myself as I should have ignored the message in the first place and checked that the files had loaded but I was being very cautious as the keyboard has only been mine for a few weeks and I did not want to stuff it up.
Well all's well that ends well....
I do thank you for your help and advice my friend. I really did appreciate it.
Robin.

Re: KN6000 USB Floppy Emulator Problem
Hi Robin, Glad you have found a solution to your problem if not totally perfect. You did mention you were going to keep your usb sticks separate this is what I would strongly recommend as although the file types are basically the same They are not that interchangeable between the organ and the keyboard firstly the KN is NX sound and the Organ is PCM 3rd generation. Some of the composers can be converted if you use EMC Style works. which is expensive unless you intend to do a lot of conversions. Mike has put a lot of styles on the site converted from Tyros and Roland which will go into the KN6000 there is a limited number for the Organ. I am still working on what information can be interchanged between product types. ( I often see the message you got about the files is for a different product but I am pushing the limits usually when I get my KN7000 to act as test bed.)
If you have any more query's feel free to ask.
Regards John.
