Hi Bernie,

I have two KN7000s and since obtaining them, I have never experienced the slightest problem with either. One of them remains at home and the other is the one I use when gigging.

Further to your point about the comment made by another musician re. the Clarinet and Sax sounds, I have had many similar comments about the individual sounds and the overall sound of the KN7000, from members of the audience - some of whom were musicians - both amateur and professional.
Since adding a Bose L1 Compact to my KN7000, I think I now have the ultimate system

Like you Bernie, I have also purchased a Korg Microarranger. While I do like some of the sounds and styles offered by the keyboard, I find the Operating System very unfriendly. This is not just due to unfamiliarity with Korg's OS - I have spent many hours trying to get to grips with the OS, but when compared with the Technics OS, it is just plain 'Hard Work'.
