Bernie... Over the years I have owned/played the KN1000, 3000, 5000, 6000. Got my first KN7 when they were first on the market and my second about 3 years ago. The ONLY KN machine I have had a challenge with is the 6000... I do not remember what it was except that the machine is still functioning almost perfectly. I do not play it anymore.

Recently, my "at home" 7K would loose the sound after a few minutes of play. Right here on the Zone the answer was quickly
forthcoming...

I too have received many compliments about the sound of the 7K.
No complaints have ever been made. I use only the speakers in the machine.

Tweaking my sounds frequently is for me, half the fun! One of my favorite combinations is the Alto Sax and Clarinet in the RT 1 and RT 2 places in the registration. I like that blend very much. All of my tweaked sounds are stored in the "Memory" under "Sound Group"...Right side of the machine....

Enjoy your 7K, you will never regret your purchase...You will never tire of playing the AWESOME KN7000!!!
