I have just bought a KN5000 for about £ 250 (about $ 500) . I thought the price was pretty good ,so I bought it from an auction. It seems in nice condition,judging from the photos (I did not receive it yet). I know that it's not the latest arranger keyboard,(my choice would have been a new Roland E-50,but right now I did not want to spend more than twice as much).
I needed something to compose music with,as I am taking a definite decision as to whether I'll keep using my laptop or whether I'll go back to ol' times and just use dedicated hardware,maybe older,but at least you switch it on and you worry just about the music,not Windows. I don't perform live,or play in bars,so to me,for writing music with,the kn5000 at that price seems pretty good. What do the veterans here think of the KN5000?
Is it a lot better than the KN1400 or KN1600? (I was buying one of these-for about the same price- just before I saw the KN5000).
