I'm thrilled (yet admittedly envious too) to hear that the KN7000's are available in Europe. I'm now anxiously awaiting their arrival here in Califonria (USA).

One reason I'm particularly interested in purchasing the KN7000 is because (as a former KN5000 owner/devotee) I've amasted a huge collection of KN5000 (and earlier) format styles & songs. It's my understanding the KN7000 will play KN5000 format styles directly without prior conversion needed. Will the KN7000 recognize & read all KN5000 format file extensions (cmp, lsw, msp, pmt, sqt, tm, etc) ?

I'm looking forward to hearing from KN7000 owners who've loaded KN5000 format styles into their keyboard. How similar to the original do the style patterns sound when played on the KN7000? How much tweaking(if any) is required to get them to sound fairly close to the way it originally sounded when played on the KN5000? Also, how do the KN5000 panel memory settings (instrument setups) sound on the KN7000?

I'm also interested in getting feedback from people who've played other Technics KN format files (KN6000/6500/3000/2000) on their KN7000.

Thanks in advance,

Scott
