Hi HarryG , thanks for e mailing the two versions .
i thought that they both sounded good ....but to my ears I thought that the Technics had the slight edge (only my humble opinion )

I now have 2 kn7000 keyboards one with all the expansion boards (which I'll be using for my little gigs) the other one at home to practice , since i retired from the day Job I've been having keyboard lessons and really love the challange ( I'll be using the KN7000 with my new light weight acoustic midi accordion which has the Musictech wireless transmitter and the receiver system which is connected to the midi outlet on the Kn7000 .
This will allow me to walk around without the accordion being attached to any cables !!
i have tried many modules /keyboards and for what I want to do the Technics wins everytime . Ease of use , sounds , styles etc .
It may be 10 yrs old but it can more than hold it's own !!!

i also have a stack of Software for the technics . with some wonderful styles and of course all the Technote plus magazines with all the usefull tips !

Just my opinion ........the important thing is to enjoy and have fun with what ever keyboard you play !!

Best regards to you all ..........Giovanni
