I am a total newbie looking for my first keyboard (studied piano as a kid but haven't played for >15 years), so please forgive me if I am getting something wrong. I was thinking about WK-3800 when this announcement of WK-7500/CTK-7000 appeared. I have checked the manual and it seems to me that besides all the improvements mentioned in this forum, they have actually removed some important features. In particular, the option of using your own samples ("user tones with waves") is no longer there. In fact, the ability to download stuff from the Internet ("Internet Data Expansion System"), which was one way to get those samples, is not even mentioned. Also, they have limited further the already limited synth capabilities by removing the option of adjusting the resonance (so now it's only attack, release and cutoff). Am I misunderstanding something? If not, any idea why they did that? It's extremely disappointing, because I wanted something that I could not only play, but also experiment with sounds and upload my own ones and the Casio WK series seems to be the only one in this price range to allow all of this.
