“The KN7 is still "THE KING" of the keyboards”. I honor that, it is a great keyboard. My reason for sharing is not discredit the Kn7 in any way but to bring reality to what other keyboards are offering. Not everyone is willing to spend the time to learn a new OS and I do understand that.

My point is that the new keyboards offer so many new options; which many are looking for, but some are. And that the new keyboards have a OS which is easy when understood. It would not be logical to say that Yamaha made a keyboard that is not friendly to use.

The question: Why did I buy a Tyros1 and a tyros 2 and a Tyros 3 and sell every one of them – and then bought another Kn7000. Because I was expecting to use the Tyros in the same manner as I used the Kn7 after a period of six months. No logic in that. I am not sure when the Kn1000 came out but it was a long, long time ago. I have been growing in knowledge and ability in using Technics keyboards since then.

I now own a Korg which is the best for performing (my opinion) but the desire to go back to all the Kn7 has never left me, it is a very special keyboard. The Kn7 is gone because I do not believe I could ever do two keyboards that are so different justice; both would suffer.

As my needs change it would be nice to go home again.
