Alas, with all the hype and excitement about the new KN7000, I fear that those of us who retain our wonderful 5000, 6000 and 6500 keyboards(probably other earlier ones, too) are going to get lost in the shuffle. I anticipate that future dowbnloads, etc. will probably be geared for the 7000 and we will be left with no new things to share. Now that there is a 7000 site up and running, maybe we who are not in that category need a 5000/6000/6500 site strictly for us! Any ideas on this? What I fear most is that the guys who offer the great music ZIP files, etc. will now prepare them for the 7000 and they then won't be compatible with the earlier keyboards. It is my understanding that styles, etc. can move upward (i.e. from the 5000 to the 6000/6500, or from the earlier keyboards up to the 5000/6000/6500/7000) but NOT downward (making 7000 files, etc. incompatible with the 5000/6000/6500 keyboards). I will be interested int he feedback my comments get and thank you all for listening. I'm sure I am not the only Technics lover who is not yet ready, willing or able to move up to the new 7000!
