Bernie, you have my interest. Before the Kn1000 keyboard came out I went to a local music store and sat with a controller hooked up to five Kurzwell tone modules. One for pianos, one for strings, brass, guitars and misc. The best I have ever heard. The package was selling for $15,000, I did not buy it.

Sooooo, I bought a controller, Roland, and two sound modules. I controlled the modules with a volume for each unit. Later I used them with a KN2000. Lots of great sounds --- but a lot of work. They were all connected with midi wires.

That is the extent of my knowledge. My questions to you are:

1-Live playing ? How do I select variations, fill inns, pads, and all the things you do live when playing?
2-Does it play Karoake files?
3-Do you see the lyrics?
4-What do I lose by going the direction you have chosen?

I know so little about the terms you have used in your post, although they may be easy to you now. What?s VST ? things like that. As the saying goes, ?Start from number one?. If you have time.
The thought of keeping and only upgrading sounds so good.

Reserve a seat next to you for me at the forum. Ha ha ha

John C.
