I really 'tried' hard to fall in love with the KN7000 as it had so many pluses (wonderful acoustic/orchestral sounds (including piano), best on board speaker system, and superior jazz (including rootless) chord recognition in full keyboard mode), but its lack of a half way decent sounding vocalizer, and real wimpy sounding drum fills & awkward triggering of them kept me from coming back to Technics. I predict UD will be trading the KN7000 for a 61 note Korg PAX1, and then eventually go back to Yammie once again (while continuing to bitch about the keys).
