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

A SERIES ORGANS |
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
