I recently put a new song on the net you can listen or download

You can listen to it or download it. it is an original song I wrote and recorded on the Roland E 80. The E 80 is the closest thing to the KN7000 that I have been able to find. I do like it. I still miss the KN 7 though.
Best to all my friends here in the Technics Forum from,

Very nice Bill enjoyed that thanks for sharing when will the sheet music be available

I enjoyed listening to your very own composition Bill and was impressed with the sounds on the Roland E80. I once had the E86 but that too was like the T3 very many button pushes and time consuming, so I only kept it three months.

What I would like to know is, does the Roland E80 still use a Main Menu to access the various functions? If so, how would you go about taking out that 'BB stab' in the background of the first part of your song, and how long would it take to do that?

This is no reflection on your song, I am just interested to know whether it would be worth my while looking at the Roland E80 as a possible next purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Audrey

thank you CasaRosa and Audrey for your positive responses.
Audrey the E 80 has a single button to bring up all the menues in the touch screen and from there you can go anywhere and do anything you want to do.
Best regards to all,
Let me know if you want the specs for the E 80 by email and I can send to you as I no longer have your email address.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for posting that clip. I was very impressed with the Sax sound on the E80. There's a couple of demo video on YouTube here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF2yIxbDmmw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtWnl066ix0&NR=1

Having listened to them and looked at the spec. I am experiencing a bit of an itch in the wallet Maybe, just maybe..............
but I won't forsake my beloved KN7000s

I hear ya Ol Retired Bill,
I really like this E 80 and us it in conjunction with the Tyros 2 but now wish I had kept the KN7 and not the tyros 2.
maybe somebody will want to swap one of these days. Who knows.
Best atcha,
Bebop

Hi Bill love your song,
I sold my KN 7000 2 years ago and I bought a Ketron SD5.I was lonesome of my KN7000 so I bought a Tyros3 later I saw an add KN7000 for sale it was in a mint condition like new,so I trade my Tyros3 change for change with the Tyros3 I lost $2000 but I dont regret it at all.Althought the Tyros 3 is a very good keyboard but the sounds of the KN 7000 for me its wonderfull I suggest to all members to see the inside of a keyboard before the purchase,you will be suprise

thank you Hbinfo, appreciate your remarks.
I hope to get another KN7000 one of these days. I have kept all my music and sd cards etc for it. I might even get a KN2600. I sold that one too. I only kept the KN 800 as it had no resale value left but is still a great playing keyboard now about 20 years old and never missed a note

Hi Bebop,

I really liked your song.
I had a KN7000 for a short while.
I bought it damaged fixed it and sold for a very good profit wish I had keep it though.
Later I bought a E80 still preferred the Kn7000 sound. Most recently bought a KN2600 from the UK for a good price.
I purchased some software from a french company that has all the Technic, Yamaha etc styles for the E80 It was called Gigabyte styles
