Well, it's starting again, isn't it? I suppose it has been long enough now for a mid-model to show up, and we can rest assured that Technics is hard at work on their next top-of-the-line keyboard. But, will it be a KN7500 with a built in CD burner, or a whole new KN8000 that uses another high-tech storage device we will have to spend months to learn? Or, maybe better composer and sequencer editors that can manipulate even the on-board backgrounds after a recording? It's getting to the point where it's hard to imagine what can come next that will be better than what we already have. Someone, somewhere is spending a lot of time engineering something new to capture my fancy and pull the cash out of my tightly clenched fist in exchange for his new-age musical treat. I can hardly wait!!
