We all know Technics have ceased producing musical instruments. No more KN8000 in the future. So sad, but isn¡¯t KN7000 equips with upgradeable OS which resides in the flash memory? Does anybody know where those Techinics programmers are? Do they have the right to upgrade and sell the OS without infringe the copyright issue? Since the sounds are so good that I don¡¯t even bother to upgrade but on the other hand I¡¯m really interested in paying the software for an upgrade as there are still plenty of rooms to improve beside the hardware. I don¡¯t know whether I¡¯m asking a stupid question here. If it¡¯s possible, what are the features you would like to upgrade?
For me, here is the list:
1. Pressing one of the 4 VARIATION buttons should trigger a FILL IN pattern (Yes like T2).
2. When MSA mode is on (Sound & Rhythm option being selected), the moment a FILL-IN button is triggered, it should bring up next registration instantaneously before the end of FILL-IN but currently it changes at the end of FILL-IN making this option totally useless (I used Rhythm only though).
3. Enhance Composer editing capability. Such as note edit as currently it¡¯s not possible to program guitar strumming without using the Sequencer features (Although it does have a tool to copy from Sequencer to Composer but not from Composer to Sequencer).
4. Able to play monophonic and polyphonic sound without a need to switch the button (Also T2 feature).
5. Enable guitar strumming LIVE. Actually this can be achieved with the formation of chord in our left and right hand if ever they have included some kind of delay in each note of a chord
6. Able to select an edited sound from the sound memory to mix with one of the 4 preset tones in the Sound Edit menu. Great for guitar effects
7. Should allow Performance Pad to play more than one track. Currently only one at a time.
8. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

Well guys, can you continue from here.
