Hi Alec,

It is a pleasure to see you posting again. Recently, someone said in a thread that Technics would introduce a KN7500 late this year or early next year. I have held onto my KN6000, using it as a learning platform, and patiently waiting (while I learn) for the next generation KN whether it be a 7500 or a 8000. The number is irrelevant because it is just number. Hopefully the implication in your note to Rikki is implying exactly that - a new flagship keyboard to be introduced soon rather than an add-on such as a new expansion board. In any case, whether it is this year or next, I am hoping, too, that the next generation KN incorporates a lot of the most-widely-wished-for improvements present KN owners have spoken about on this forum. I am ready to purchase a new instrument.

Best Wishes, Chuck
