Hnmm, I feared this.

I really need better sounds, especially since I've recently added a hardware and software sampler to my little studio. The sound quality of those two instruments is astounding. A chello, a violin, or stacato trumpets really sound like the real thing, not at all like most crappy thin soloist sound found on the KN6500. I was hoping Technics would at least double the sample ram to increase quality, seems they didn't. And without the ability to add new samples yourself (which Yamaha and GEM have had for quite some time now) I'm not sure I'll be buying.
