Audrey,
Since I have gone from a KN7 sold, to a Tyros 2 sold, to a Kn7 sold now to a S900 Yamaha let me share. The transition is a matter of forgetting what you know about the Kn7 and approach with an open mind. The more a keyboard offers the more the time involvement.

My S900 is set up for a job well beyond the Kn7, but I had to change all my thinking. It all seem enormous a big terribly long job. In almost every area the younger keyboard is better, Just as the newer computers are normally better. There are exceptions. The same job takes much longer on the Tyros but the completed job is much better.

My question to you is: If you play Boogie and Rock-n-Roll do you not see the difference? If Boogie and Rock-n-roll is a small part of your performance then I do understand.

Prefer the Kn7 over the Tyros 3 because of the complete sound for the music I love, 20�s, 30�s, 40�s and a touch of the 50�s � and of course the Sequencer. I love technology, and I do sing that makes the Tyros a desire, maybe in the future not now.

One of the main reasons for not owning both keyboards, besides the dollars, is that my hand travels to parts of the keyboard without thought. With the second keyboard I end up staring and wondering � Where did it go?
