Let's be honest for a moment. Regardless of which model you own, can you, hand on your heart, say that you've tried to use every facility available to get a new sound or style out of it. I'll probably get a few nasty emails for that but I've only myself to blame.
Ten years ago I worked as an insurance broker and dealt most of the time with classic cars from Jenson Interceptors all the way down to Hillman Imps. As most of you know these makes no longer exist but with the devotion of their owners the name carries on. The same, I hope, will be said of Technics in years to come. We've been privaleged to be owners and with good care will remain that way for a long time more.
If it wasn't for Nigel having set up this forum off his own back we wouldn't be sitting in front of our PCs/MACs swapping ideas, styles, music, etc. We should, this a personal view, be grateful for what we have and try to a)make to the most of it and b)keep talking to each other.
The girls are at college at the moment but I know what their views are. We're pleased with what we've got. It's unfortunate we won't be able, shortly, to upgrade, but we've got something that, with luck, will probably last me to my grave; Not long now, as I've just filled in a new will and deed of trust.
Sorry if the last section was a bit morbid but I've always said I like to know when it's going to happen...
Anyway, please no comments about me preaching a sermon, just happy thoughts about your 'board.
Regards to all as always,
Mark
Bravo to all the praise of the KN7000!
I belong to the "Barnstaple Organ and Keyboard Club"in Barnstaple Devon,UK
Six of our members have got Technics keyboards,one has a KN6500 and five (including myself)own the KN7000.
There seems no end to the amount of styles you can download from Technics website and others, most of them free.I keep running out of floppy discs,because I keep finding fresh ones to download.
I am so pleased with my KN7000,its the best keyboard I've had.My previous ones were Gem,
and Solton, but compared to the Technics they are like toys!
I shall keep mine until either it disintegrates or me!whichever is the sooner!
