Hi,
5 least favourite sounds - a big ask. I certainly haven't tried to get the best out of every sound on the KN7000 and I doubt that too many others have either. I don't believe that it is sacrilege to be critical of some aspects of the KN7000. Overall it still does it for me better than any of its competitors, past and present.
The sounds that I found a little disappointing:
1. Soprano Soloist from the EW04 board (along with Female Ah Soloist and to a lesser extent Opera Tricks). On examining this voice using sound edit it appears not to be sampled from an opera singer at all, but is a compilation of 3 quite different sounds with very noticeable transition points.
2. Marcato strings. Despite trying to tweak these, I could not get the really crisp clean attack that I wanted.
3. Bandoneon. Certainly not Joe Ment.
4. Blues Harmonica doesn't quite do it for me either.
5. Zither. Can't get it to sound like Anton Caras.

I also believe that whilst I can generally get close to what I want from the guitar sounds, they are well and truly surpassed by some of those on the Tyros 2, but then it has the advantage of another 3 years development. Although I have heard the Tyros demonstrated by a number of fine musicians, I haven't had a decent go at it myself, and what I have heard certainly hasn't tempted me to exchange my KN7000.

Cheers
Len
