The Technics KN 2000 keyboard is a good entry to intermediate level model in the KN series. Here is a complete review of the kn2000.
Technics KN 2000 Keyboard Review
Technics keyboards have always had excellent sounds, especially their piano and electric piano sounds. Mind you, when the Technics KN 2000 keyboard was launched, it was definitely not among the less expensive keyboards.
Because of their features and top notch sound quality, no wonder the used technics keyboards are still in demand among avid piano keyboard players.
Technics kn-2000 keyboard Features
Here are some of the highlights of the Technics kn2000 keyboard:
Technics KN 2000 Keyboard
It is very user-friendly and the piano sounds are great. Non-piano sounds could have been better though.
The LCD display screen is decent sized and clearly shows the volume controls for each part, and which instruments are playing/selected currently.
You can easily switch from one instrument to another when you are playing with an accompaniment.
The sounds are lively, which sound even better when hooked up to an amplifier or external speakers.
You get polyphony of 64 notes, dynamic accompaniments, built-in sequencers, which are great features to have on the kn2000 keyboard.
Overall - Technics kn2000 keyboard
So the feature set and sound is pretty good on this keyboard. If you want more professional features, then you may check out the Technics kn 6000 / Technics kn 6500 keyboards. But otherwise, the Technics kn-2000 is a good keyboard to have.
What is it that you have in the floppy disks? I mean, don't you already have all that data stored in your computer?
You can definitely replace the floppy drive of your keyboard. It is just like the replacing a floppy drive on a computer. But then whether it will work or not will also depend on what floppy your current keyboard supports.
The earlier keyboards supported 3.5 floppy disks with 746KB or 730KB capacity but the most recent floppy disks are 1.44MB. So you will have to do some trial & error methods here.

Technics KN2000 Keyboard - Transfer Music to Computer by: Mike
The Technics KN2000 is still the best keyboard as far as I am concerned.
To the fellow that wanted to know how to transfer music from his keyboard to his computer. Your computer needs to have a sound card with a midi port. Get a program called Cakewalk. You are in business.
I do this transfer back and forth all the time. If you need help or have questions, email me at myclassicmusic@yahoo.com. I am a technician and have been since 1962.
I recently moved my Panasonic (Technics) sx-KN2000 keyboard to another room.
Evidently it joggled loose because of which the modulator button now has no spring to it, and some of the keys sound weird.
Do I take apart the compartment and try to spray dust it, if part needs repair? I am in Palm Springs Ca.
Thanks
Phyllia
