Hello Again John,
More information for you. I have the EW-01, EW-02, and EW-03 expansion boards. I pulled the spec sheets for each one from my files to gather information for you.
The EW-01 board has eight factory-created drum kits. They are: Club Kit 1; Club Kit 2; Studio Kit; 70's Kit; Resonant Kit; Rock Kit; Timbales & Bells; and, Shaker's Kit. As you know, each key on the keyboard is a percussion instrument you can use to program the user drum kit, or use to add individual drum sounds to your recordings. All of those percussion instruments are changed by the EW-01 board, so you have a whole new range of percussion sounds on the keys. I had the board installed for a while but never listened to the drums so cannot give you an opinion regarding their sound quality.
The EW-02 board does not have any factory-created drum kits, but does provide a different selection of percussive instruments on the keys. There are two Orchestral Bass Drum selections, a number of Orchestral Snare Drum selections, several Timpani selections that are tone specific, a couple of Cymbal selections, a couple of Tamborine selections, and four Triangle selections. The keys C1 thru A#1 are not used, nor are the keys F#5 thru C6. Again, I have not heard the sounds so cannot comment on them.
The EW-03 board does not have any drum kit options. However, it does offer some very good organ sounds. Since you have bought pedals and intend to play organ, they may offer you some helpful additions to the already extensive organ sounds on your KN7000. I still have the KN6000 and because of my interest in playing organ, I have the EW-03 board installed.
I intend to buy the EW-04 expansion board any day now because it won't be much longer before I upgrade to the KN7000 or its successor if one materializes in the next few months and then I will have the use of all four boards.
If you wish, I will be happy to scan and e-mail copies of the spec sheets for the EW-01, 02, and 03 boards to you so you can see the many options each board offers.
Hope this helps you. Take care.
Best Regards, Chuck
