My first technics instrument was the KN1500. Nobody here has yet mentioned this keyboard, but it was in fact, a super little music-maker. I have no idea why it was never popularised, but it really was a great introduction to Technics.

This was followed by the 6K then eventually the 7K. Apart from the organ voices on the 7K, I don't actually feel that the 7K is better than the 6K.

All this reminds me of something which has often bugged me. Can anybody tell me why, with the enormous advances in modern musical technology, todays instruments cannot reproduce material recorded on previous instruments. ? It seems such an obvious factor to cater for, that I wonder whether there aren't 'commercial' considerations at play here. ???

Does it all necessarily follow therefore, that my recorded material from my KN1500, is effectively lost forever, and cannot be re-produced in any way, shape, or form. ??
