I purchased it when I was young and I didn't have many skills and knowledge in arranger Keyboards. It was one of my first ever keyboards so it wasn't used to its potential at all. I wish I kept it! I always search for them on ebay but they are so rare! In fact I prefer KN6500 over the 7000 purely because of the physical layout of the instrument. Maybe one day I will own one once again Nick _________________________ Roland G70 / Roland BK9 / Roland GW-8L / Roland Fantom O6 / Yamaha Motif XS / Technics KN6500

And the company has gone bust as well, so no further improvements/bug fixes. And there are plenty of those.The Music Pad promised so much and delivered so little. In it's day (circa pre 2005),the MusicPad was cutting edge, as there was nobody else out there producing anything comparable. Freehand Systems was a small startup co that put R&D seed $ from investor profits from the dot.com era to design and produce the MusicPad. Freehand's president had me test & evaluate their pre-production unit. Unfortunately, the dot.com bust, and then the more recent economic collapse affected sales and further R&D refinement. Move on to 2010, and I now feel that the iPad has replaced Freehand to store & disply Digital music. Freehand is now more focused on the software end of digital music. - Scott _________________________

WAY ahead of its time ... if only ... ahhh ... but we can say that about a lot of things can't we ... I have not even scrathed the surface of what this board can do ... Nick ... check on the "technics" page here on S-Z ... perhaps someone might be interested in selling one, but doesn't want to put it on ebay ... t.
