My KN6000 and KN7000 keyboards are all I'll ever need. A friend of mine here in the U.K. sent me the Summer 2004 edition of Korg Magazine accompanied by a CD of the sounds of Korg products. The PA1X and PA1X Pro are demonstrated along with the entire range of Korg sound modification products. I was not impressed. Not impressed in the sense that the Korg keyboards didn't sound any better than my KNs. So why change? If a keyboard does not offer significant improvements to what I already have, in particular the operating system and sequencer, I see no reason to buy something else.

My opinion is that those of us who have the KN7000 have one of the finest keyboards ever produced. My KNs will last me as long as I live. I'll never tire of playing them. They will do everything I want to achieve in music - AND MORE!

Bottom line? I don't want a keyboard for Christmas.
