Hi Rikki,
Nice reply. Thanks.
Talking about an instrument being ahead of its time, I have two old synths in storage. One is an ARP Quartet, vintage 1980, and the other is a Moog Prodigy of about the same vintage. Don't even know if they are in working order. The ARP had four voices: brass, piano, organ, and strings. The brass voice was probably the best I have ever heard
and this was in the days before digital sampling. The Moog is really neat. It is a monophonic instrument with lots of oscillators and filters. I could set it up to sound exactly like a french horn for example. It took some time to learn how to set it up but it was/is a very nice instrument. Both instruments require amplification.
Still, I prefer my KN6000 with all its technology and libraries of sounds and styles. We are living in a wonderful age for musical toys aren't we? I wonder what lies ahead a hundred years from now? I can picture a teen pulling a dusty old cover off of something in the attic and reading "KN7000" and saying to himself, "Boy, those folks a hundred years ago sure had primitive stuff!" Life moves on.
Its time for me to put my head on the pillow for the night. Take care, Rikki.
Best Wishes to You,
Chuck
