Hi Art,
I noticed you didn't mention the 'end user': US the MUSICIANS .

Seriously though, sometimes products, though tested and analyized to death by R&D and design experts alike, somehow leave out the end user in the mix. A product may technically be the latest and have the coolest design, but then lack the down in the trenches functionality required by the end user. I'm first to commend Technics for their long reputation of producing great keyboards. I just hope they consulted with REAL musicians when designing the KN7000.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was 'just that bad picture

' that raised my concerns about its design function-ability.
