HOW TO – Convert SU series Files to Lowrey A Series


If you have upgraded your SU series organ  (Royale / Stardust etc.)  to an A series  organ (prestige, sterling, Imperial etc.) you will have soon discovered that the saved files from an SU series are not compatible and cannot be read by the newer A series organs.


Let’s suppose you have an SU series organ such as a Royale or Stardust, and you want to be able to load a settings file or a song file on an A series organ such as a Prestige or Sterling for example, can you simply copy the files from a floppy drive to a USB stick ?

The simple answer is yes and no !

What Lowrey Organs are in the family of SU and A series ?
below is a list

SU SERIES ORGANS
SU300 Legacy 
SU400 Rhapsody
SU430 Sensation
SU500 Royale
SU530 Stardust
SU600 Grande Royale
SU630 Palladium 

A SERIES ORGANS
A200 Encore
A300 Holiday Classic
A300 Prelude
A3001 Bollywood
A4000 Legend
A4000cc Tribute
A5000 Prestige
A5500Sterling
A6000 Imperial

Firstly Most SU series organs ( unless they have been converted See Here )
will have a floppy drive and use Floppy Disks, unlike the later A series models that have a USB drive to open and save their files. The good thing about a USB drive is compactness and of course speed of loading and saving files

A Settings file or Song file on the SU series cannot be loaded directly into an A series organ without first  being converted. 
Basically this is because both SU and A Series organs have a different way of naming their files , but also the files extension is also different

If you want to convert an SU to an A series file to be used on an A series organ, you will need some software to do this. Below is a link to download this software, within the file is a PDF for the instructions how to use it.
It is fairly easy to use, just follow the instructions.

Below is just the download of a PDF supplied by Lowrey that explains how to convert the SU files into files that can be read and installed within an A series organ.

Also below are the software files necessary to make the conversion, as explained in the PDF instructions
