Hi,
I would probably rate it 9.5 out of 10. Haven't found a perfect keyboard yet but it's pretty close to it.
As for the cards, I've got all 4 and I like them.

best wishes
Rikki

I Love it I especially like the USB link for transfer to CD. The key action is lighter and I think more responsive than the KN6000 (which I still own) I think the inclusion of the SD card is a big step forward, despite some of the 'difficulties' some forum members are having. Having a fast built-in large storage system, which is virtually limitless, is great, compared with paying the extortionate price for a hard drive and the prices for the SD cards are slowly coming down.
I bought the EW-03 and EW-04 and am generally very pleased with them. There are a few sounds which I consider a bit 'Naff', particularly on the EW-04 - the 'Vocal Patterns'.
Marks out of ten? I would certainly say a healthy 9.5

Hi Tony, The Jazz Tenor Sax on the EW-04 is superb, particularly in the lower register notes. You can really hear the sort of 'Clack' the reed makes at the start of the note. In my opinion, it's the best Tenor I've heard.
I haven't played around much with the brush pattern kit so can't really give you an informed opinion yet. Give me a day or two and I'll have a 'play around' with it and get back to you.
There are no dedicated Jazz Organ sounds as such on the EW-04. There are a few 'Electric Organ' and other organ sounds but I would not rate any of them for playing jazz. The best Jazz organ sounds without a doubt, are already built in to the KN7000

Hi Tony,
if you are interested in hearing some sounds etc. by yourself, be welcome on my homepage. You can download 3 beautifull KN7000 demo-registrations in mp3-format and pherhaps it helps you to hear and rate the K7 by yourself.
Best regards,
Cees.

I would rate my 7000 a 10 plus.

To me the amazing SD Card System alone was worth the investment.
It has almost unlimited storage capabilites and also almost instant replay of a song.

We as 7000 owners are a unique an fortunate group. We have both the SD card and the disk drive at our disposal. They both complement each other.

I have found the new organ tabs and organ stylist programs outstanding. I even feel the style arrangers registrations are much improved. Specially the Miller sound.
Its sound system is even better with a much improved bass line.
These are just a few of the many new features I have found.

I have always found Technics to be the best user friendly keyboard on the market and our 7000 is no exception.
It has something for everyone.

If you are into the technical aspects of a keyboard and like to dig deep into its technical features then this keyboard is for you.

If you are not interested in its technical aspects like I am you will find its basic features a joy.

A lot has been said about its vocal harmonizer or lack of a workable one.
I do not sing so this area is of no value to me.
Again buying a keyboard is a personal choice. How you use it and play it is entirely up to you.

If you are an experienced or inexperienced keyboard player I highly recommend this fantasic Kn7000.
Again it has something for everyone.
