Hi Alan and Welcome to the Forum,
The KN7000 uses the Panasonic SD memory card, not the Smart Media type. The string sounds which I heard at the recent presentation of the KN7000 certainly sounded superb. We were informed that all the sounds have been re-sampled. If you haven't done so already, have a look at the other 'KN7000' posts on this forum.
Good to have you 'Aboard'

Greetings from North Yorks
