Hi Anthony,

Apparently, it is sacrilegious to express a negative thought on the keyboards mentioned on this forum and especially, the KN7000. I caught hell for just making a criticism on ONE disk Technote put out. It caused one member's lack of sleep by being so upset. Anyway, Sir, I will speak only of the KN7000. I can't really state that any sounds are outright bad but many, to my use in music are not acceptable.

I will express my wishes for better sounds (or more choices) in the following:

Saxes - Although the Tenor Sax Soloist is a superb sound and my first choice for using it in solo work, I wish there were even a better Tenor Sax for solo work. There was an outstanding one in the KN1000 that was not used in later keyboards. I was disappointed when I had the KN6000, that it wasn't in the keyboard. Of course, the KN7000 is just a slight step-up from the KN6000 and that being mainly the SD card function and it wasn't added or even one better in that keyboard. So, more solo Saxes to choose from would be nice.

Trombones - Again, in the KN1000, they had a superb solo Trombone sound. I have not found a good Trombone solo sound in the KN7000. I have had to really tweak another horn sound to get a decent Trombone solo.

Guitars - I wish there were better guitars in general. I am not fully pleased with the Jazz Guitar sound. Trying to do a good country steel guitar isn't so easy. I prefer to use the Hawaiian guitar sound for country because it just sounds better. Let me just say that the Nashville Steel doesn't sound like a Nashville sound to me.

The aforementioned are just a few comments on what I wish were better in the KN7000. And for those forum members that have a peeve with me, I don't need to hear sarcasm like, "Well, maybe you should sell your KN7000 and buy a KN1000." Let me make it clear, I marvel every time I sit down to the KN7000. I feel very fortunate that I have it. All I am saying is that it would have been nice had the keyboard had more of the sounds mentioned to choose from.

Scott
