Hi Scott,

Glad to see you posting here and to have the benefit of your thoughts regarding the KN7000. I am not buying the KN7000 and have already expressed my reasons for that decision in a post several days ago, so I won't repeat them.

Your comments regarding the drums and editing drum sounds, and the one dimensional vocal harmonizer are further reasons for me to wait until the next generation KN keyboard arrives. I would like to see vocal duet, trio, quartet, choir, and string quartet harmonies added to the options available when selecting Techni-Chord. I can understand your need for a facility to re-program drum velocities/volumes.

I have taken onboard your comments and all those offered by KN7000 owners so far. Your collective comments will no doubt be examined by Technics for desirability, feasability and cost. I think the KN7000 is a terrific instrument. I believe the next generation flagship keyboard will have software that is more user friendly and many of the features on player's wish lists will have been incorporated. Certainly, the next flagship instrument will be superior to the KN7000 in many ways and I intend to wait for it.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us.

Beest Regards, Chuck
