I received this message from a product sales engineer for technics musical instruments:

Thank you very much for your reply. Nice to communicate with you. I hope you
are very pleased with your KN6500. I think it is the finest keyboard
available in the market.
Please note that I am not speculating. Unfortunately I cannot tell you
anything about new Technics products since I am a product sales engineer for
Technics musical instruments (Matsu****a Inc.). So all information is highly
secret and confidential. As we have seen in the past, the competition is
watching us pretty closely (Y-brand) Since we are a little quiet in the
market. My only point is: Just watch in 2002.

Hope you will stay with us.

Best regards "

I understand he can't give more details but why did he start about this topic.

Greetings,
