Hi Diki,
mine was the KN7000. Technics stopped producing.
I prefer a brand with a future. When I get round to updating my Korg, hopefully all the styles I've collected & created will work on the next generation of Korg , they'll probably need tweaking, but all would not be lost.
Didn't see much future in continuing on with Technics, even though I owned 6 of them over the years.

best wishes
Rikki
