Hi Anthony and to you, Bud -

You are welcome for my thoughts. I must say that Technics has done a superb job of creating digital sounds generally to their truest form. One in particular, which really isn't that important and has not been updated since the KN1000 is the applause sound. Good grief, it sounds like a loop with a space and then a repeat. It is NOT convincing. It seems they could have done a better job creating this sound.

Yes, sounds that do come across as muffled can be tweaked in SOUND EDIT and don't forget, you can also make a sound more brilliant in PART SETTING, page 4 by changing BRIGHTNESS.

One other section of sounds that I would like to have seen improved would be STRINGS. I get some very impressive sounds with strings through proper reverb. Still, I was hoping when the KN7000 came about, there would be even better strings. I see few, if any improvements over the KN6000.

Bud, it is always a pleasure to hear from you. You have been a very long time member of the forum. So have I but most don't know this. You and I were at the time of the KN6000 first forum. I dropped out for about two years before reregistering under the name I now have. Over the years, you have contributed so much to the old forum as well as this one. Your generosity has been at the highest level. May you continue with your generous efforts.

Scott
