Hi Bart,
Let's be realistic, the spec of the next keyboard is top secret before it is launched because this is valuable information to competitors. Therefore you will not find any information from Technics or anyone associated with the company before the official unveiling.

The simplest way to find out is to ask your dealer, he might or might not know anything. This is hardly rocket science, and has been done here before under the description of 'confidential sources', though it hardly seems to warrant such a pompous exageration for something anyone can do with one phone call, at least in my opinion.

The other way might be to read other peoples posts and then just repeat the information under your own name in a different post. This has happened too very recently. Unfortunately where the original report may have a deliberate error or 2 the repeater just reveals himself as someone with no knowledge, beyond the ability to pretend he knows something he does not.

I may or may not know many dealers, representatives, contacts or employees of Technics, I'm not prepared to say. My predictions may be right or wrong, we shall have to see when the 7000 appears. Everyone is free to make their own mind up based on their experience of the intelligence, accuracy and history of a person's posts whether its worth paying attention to what they say...
regards,
