Hi Bill,
In my excitement to share I forget we are not all going in the same direction. Since my early 20’s I have been playing and entertaining dancing crowds; my search has been for more drive, more drive to add excitement to the dancers I was playing for. My frustration with my Kn7 was because I wanted it to do more – more excitement, heavier drums different livelier styles.

Did I love my Kn7? I had three of them and became capable of getting into every part of the keyboard; it is and still is a fine keyboard.

After reading your reply to my post I fully agree with you. You bought a Tyros and now a KMA showing that you have an open mind. If I were Bill Norrie I would embrace that Kn7 because of your needs and knowledge of that keyboard that few of us have. The Kn7 is a tool and you have accomplished so much with this tool; I hope you have two of them.

I am slowly withdrawing from the entertainment field and the need for more drive is diminishing so my needs are changing. The Korg Pa800 is in in depth tool allowing the user to do so much but very soon so the more and the drive will not remain as my criteria. I will be looking for an instrument I can become one with, possibly an organ or an electric piano with some goodies. Just play for fun and enjoyment.

Take care, John C.
