I've had my technics kn6000 since they came out - around 1998 - 99??? ...
t.

Tony .....please tell us why you kept it so long....what is it that makes you love it?.....as an ex KN6000 owner...
(that's another story)...I would be interested in hearing about it.

Thanx

I try not to change more than once or three times or so a year.
The kb I hated most of all was G800. The joystick broke when it was two weeks old. The buttons started sticking and the paint wore off, the display was tiny and hard to read. I suppose it was a lemon, because lots of people loved 'em. It did SOUND good though.
Longest I ever played one was PSR2000--more than a year, though I didn't intend to!
I have a new one on the way now. This PSR S900 has gotten a smudge on the display.

I had the Technics KN1000 for about 4 years , the Yamaha PSR8000 for about the same length and now the PA1x for about 2.5 years. I wont change this one till i have learned and applied all the functions i can so i cant see me changeing it for another 3 years or so.

I am more focused on being a musician these days.

started working keys in 1999. until last fall when i switched to E60, I used Korg is35 which
is still my backup..for a couple years recently
i used Technics kn2600 on some gigs. I miss the
scat vocals from the the kn2600 i sold, there were more of them and better even than the vaunted Roland ones.

I also cannot contribute to this subject to answer the Topic .....& that is simply because they haven't made something that has enough of the features "I need" to keep a KB that long. Many have come close but lose because after a purchase & when you start digging your teeth into it in real time applications on stage you realize it ain't gonna happen for ya versus just a short store demo... .....and so what? If you have the funds to switch, & it makes you happy so be it. Where is it written you can't switch as much as you want? What makes one person happy doesn't necessarily make another the same way. The Korg PA800 did come Very close for me in many ways....& I came away realizing we're on the verge of greatness in the arranger KB field in the very near future....just wait and see Maybe then I can reach total happiness & possibly keep one for a long long while.
I'm hoping for that sometime next year .

A new what? same s900 or something different?

I thought I would have my PSR-3000 for a long time, but that's another story on another thread.

I had a KN-3000 for 7 years used as both the primary keyboard, and then later as a backup. Built like a Sherman Tank. I wish I would have kept it.

Miami Mo is right about the scat voices on the KN2600 (Baby KN-7000). Almost unbelievable human sounds! Technics had a good thing going. It's a shame they are gone. ( Anyone selling a KN-2600 ?)

I've had a G 1000 for 9 years. I played it up until a year and a half ago when I got a Tyros 1 and a Ketron MidJay. Before that I played a G 800. I still have the G 1000 in my studio.

Ciao,

Joe
