I can't bear to think that my KN7000 will ever die on me - the blood runs cold at the thought. The KN7 was so far ahead of it's time that it can still hold it's own today - still mainly good sounds and the styles in general, both on-board & 3rd party, still can't be bettered by the latest boards.I can't imagine what a KN8 or KN9 would be like if Panasonic hadn't pulled the plug on Technics keyboard division - they must have been completely mad.
I also have a Tyros3 but the KN7 is still the board I prefer to play - I even have a Technics SMAC 1200 module that I couldn't bring myself to part with. Glad that there are still some Technics lover's around.
