Hi Audrey,

Yes, I loved my KN7000 and it had some advantages like easy step record. But live playing, or otherwise said: real-time recording is so much easier that step recording is less needed. But direct recording to MIDI and to WAV, with a mixer, a great microphone with vocalist entry, the superior sounds. For example listen to my song "Bluesette" on http://www.vision-4-life.nl/php_UK/viewpage.php?page_id=17 and tell me honestly: don't you hear Toots Tielemans playing his harmonica. Or the next song "Circle of Smile" And talking about the great sax sound of the KN7, listen to my "Friend of the poor". And how about the oboe: Gabriel's Oboe from the movie "The Mission". All realtime played on the Tyros-3 "Playing for fun and charity"
