There is no disputing that the KN7 has outstanding instruments sounds and great big band styles. But there are some fantastic options on other keyboards.
On my S900 Yamaha
1-I can put all my work on a memory stick.
7 t0 8 hundred styles –
2-Unlimited registrations –
3-A nice vocal harmonizer –
4-I have put in 300 text files which took me 20 minutes –
5-I push one registration button and I have –
A-A selected style
B-Selected instruments
C-Volume balance
D-And a text file –there is much more
6-I do not need my laptop any longer.
7-Audio line dances are on the memory stick and can be played using the keyboard.
8-The keyboard is close to 20 pounds less.
9-Registration button #1 can be made different than #2 – Expanded – Normal – and each button can be set up to save exactly what you want.
One set of eight registrations can have eight different types of data saved.
You can have as many sets of eight registrations as the memory stick will hold. I have a 2GB and a 4GB.

None of this changes the value of the KN7. I only post the above so that those who are interested can get true value information. I have found that I thoroughly enjoy getting into all the stuff that makes me think, it is a type of computer. My personal opinion is that when the Tyros 3 or whatever they will call it comes out will have some of the great sounds of the KN7. The trumpets have changed a great deal from the Tyros 1 to the Tyros 3.

Would I buy another KN7 if the opportunity comes? Yes! All the above make my head work – but the KN7 always reached the center of me.
