I have been out of touch for a while and it is nice to be back on Synthzone. Moved from Alaska to Idaho with 37 years of STUFF. The first thing I did was check my KN6000 and it still works. I went to a show here and they had a GEM or GENESYS and the rep said that KNs were being traded in constantly for the GEM. (saying that would be natural if you were a rep for that company) I never heard of it but would like to read any opinions anyone has about this keyboard. I am always curious. I have been told there is a place in town that has the KN7000. It is nice to be in an area where you can see some quality keyboards. Again, it is nice to be back and learning with the rest of you. Don
