Donny your a knob...

Rikki - Ollie and Bob use to be underneath the Retravision on York Street but the store closed so Assosiated electrics had to go too... not sure where they are now.

Ollie use to live about 10 mins from me as well...when i purchased my KN6 from them he took me all the way home from the city with it and dropped me off at home. great customer service!!!!

Sorry for the truth...us knobs are famous for that!

Nick..what is a knob?
I never heard that saying before..

Donny i agree with u the KN 7 was designed terribly but the Kn6 series was superb - The most professional looking keyboard I have ever seen in my opinion and far ahead of its time.

the nice flat round buttons looked so good. I hate the big bulky buttons that the T2 has and how they light up and look like lollies...

well Fran a "Knob" in Sydney is like saying - your a fool, or a character / clown... but its not a harsh serious word... hard to explain that but hope u understand?

Donny the King definitely fits that category lol im sure you agree? hahaha

I got it..Donny is a clown..

Nick , the one thing I didn't like about the 6000 was the drums..it reminded me of drums in a garage..The 7000 had a great sound system..that is why I expect the Roland E80-[similar specs] to sound good[speaker system]..

Hi Nick,
from York st, Bob went to a piano/keyboard showroom in Chatswood on the Pacific Hwg
( can't think of the name of the shop). He worked there for a year or so, then Ollie took over his position. Ollie was still working in Chatswood last year, I'm hoping he still is.
I was lucky enough to live down the street from Turramurra Music. If I wasn't at home, hubby always knew where to find me haahaa.

best wishes
Rikki

I highly agree the drums were one of the biggest let downs on the Technics...

The sound system was superb and I have no doubt the Roland would be the same if not better, but i still believe no matter how good keyboard speakers are, you ALWAYS get a better result when using external speakers... its not a matter of making it go louder, it just makes it sound richer if you get me?

Onboard speakers are never as punchy from my experience.

I think my favorite features from my old kn2000 was the easy way to step input on the sequencer and how easy and quick it made it to input those hard as nails passages to cheat my way through or if I was learning a piece given by my teacher step inputting the lot rh/lh then playing over the top to get it just so. then adding everything else after to make it sound good.

Yup many happy hours inputting note after note ok I havent seen the sequencers from other manufactures latly but I bet they do not come with the same ease.
