Well Doug. I have the kn6500. For me, There is not a keyboard out there that is the best in every way. They all have their pro's and con's. There are boards out there that are better in some aspects, but most to me don't measure up to my 6500 when I average it all out. I have brought up a few weak points about the 6500 myself, hoping someone would suggest a way to beef them up. And I have also posted ways to do so. I don't think I am a bad guy for posting weak points, as long as my intent was right, and not just to slam the kn series. I tend to analize a lot also. That's just me. I am a perfectionist. And I like my originals to be the best they can. I admit one time I got pissed about the sequencer, and I know you remember. haha. Speaking of that, I am doing quite well with it now. As long as I use right1 and 2 last and don't copy from them. Which is no problem not to do. But why must everyone get so upset when people post a negative opinion about one aspect of the kn? After all we all paid a lot of money for it and can sometimes be a bit disappointed with one or two things about it. But this Garrett guy, doesn't even own a kn, and Because of that, I didn't care to see his post. What was the purpose, I asked myself. But anyways, there isn't a board out there without weak spots. Maybe in the 10's of thousands of dollars there is a perfect board. kn's have a lot of bang for the buck. While some sounds are a bit weak and thin. They can be beefed up with effects etc... and I think the user friendliness of the kn6500 and 7000 is unmatched by any board out there! The layout of the 6500 is perfect. Who wants to flip through menu's for everything? Not me. For you 6500 users who play beefed up sounds using effects and play it loud, and have to put up with the display pull up window rattling away: Sticking a piece of rubber, or a match book down in the crack on the back side of the lcd pull up part will stop that rattle. I used a piece of rubber. Stuffed it down in there with one end to big so it won't fall in. I think a full book of matches would not fall in if the small end was put in first. Not sure, I have no match books here. This is just an example how posting something negative can work out good. It gets people thinking, and someone comes up with a solution or a fix for it. I posted about the rattle and came up with the fix myself but if I had been happy enough with it, then it would still rattle today! Sparky.

Gee Doug, That was really nice of you. Glad to see that is old hat now. And I didn't think you had me in mind. I wondered just a bit but tried to see it with an open mind. I simply expressed my feelongs towards the whole issue. I was bored. haha. Often times I write or talk when I am bored. As far as joining the two boards at the cord, wow. haha But if one of them gets pregnaunt, I want one of them babies! And you are very welcome about my concern. I do like to help out when I can. I remember when I first found this forum. It was when I got my technics. 6500 was my 1st decent board. And I remember being in need of info with the manual being so brief, and getting fast and good help! That was wonderful. But I knew jack about it and couldn't offer anything back. As a man who has pride and doesn't like to take anything if I can't do something in return, I ended up turning towards other ways I could help out on the forum. Instead of technical issues directly with the kn's. It all adds up to me being greatful for this forum being here. It has become less and less useful as I learn more about my 6500, but still as enjoyable. I like to think, I have a place here now. Even though I have not made myself a favorite here. hehe. But you know, I can swallow my pride quite easy when I need to. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) And things have a way of smoothing out with time. As you have surely showed me with your last post. Thanks again! I will just look at it as a lesson learned. I do realize my approach was not the best. And very poor about the sequencer. One can't change the past. But one can avoid the same mistakes. haha Anyways,,, I think I am just talking to hear myself talk at this point. LOL So I am going to bed. haha Tony

Peter,
Yes, I also looked at his profile and you are absolutely right. Altho he has a perfect right to keep his occupation, interests and other things private, I think we could relate to each other better knowing a little of each other. But each to his own. Incidentally while were on this subject, what in the world is ORLA MONTOVA 2?? A game? A girl? A type of music? Your wife? And while were at it, what happened to ORLA MONTOVA #1. You don’t have to tell me but you sure got my curiosity up! Let me guess. Because your a baker, an ORLA MONTOVA2 is the new improved version of the first ORLA MONTOVA you baked? Is that it? Yes? NO?
Back to the subject at hand. Why do people do the things they do? What in the world prompted this fellow to say what he said? Not only that, but on his first post just becoming a member. Sounds like he might be a tad bit unhappy about something. You may have put your finger on his evaluation. The Modulation wheel!!! That I could understand. Anyway let’s give him a chance to explain himself. I, for one, would like to hear from him again to see the why of his statement. After all, I have in the past stepped out on the wrong foot in a few situations. I was very thankful for a second chance, so let’s give this fellow a chance to have a second start. What do you say?
The modulation wheel! Oh the wonder of that little wheel. So round and plump. Sitting so bold in a sea of silver. Waiting to be touched. Touch me, move me she cries. I will get your attention. You WILL remember me. Just touch me and see. I touched her with my guitar and we fell in love. Pete, have you had an affair with her and what do you think?
Grandpa Doug

Hi Doug. I agree with you about the privacy. It's not that we are all a nosey lot of folks but it's good to know something of who we have contact with. The Montova 2 is a long story. It is my latest Organ. I have had more Organs than there are states in the U.S. I have kept quite a few dealers in business with my part exchanges and upgrades. You probably don't see much of the Orla company in the States, they are an Italian companyand they make a very nice sound probably similar to the Gulbransens. One of the manufacturers you will know is LOWREY. I bought the Heritage about 7 years ago and this was a superb instrument and I had that for 5 years until a dealer persuaded me to do a straight swap, this time a Roland AT70 and after about 18months in a moment of sheer madness I thought that I would like Digital Piano and went for a Roland KR577. This proved to be the worst purchase I have ever made and found it to be totally frustrating and over compilicated, even for me , and I have been playing all kinds of keyboards/organs for over 50 years. So, thats where the Montova 2 comes into the picture. I couldn't find another LOWREY so I settled, at great damage to my pocket money to go for the ORLA MONTOVA 2,once again in a straight exchange deal. (Oh yes! there was a Montova 1, but I didn't have one of those).You'll now just have to watch this space as I have seen a LOWREY HERITAGE in one of the local dealers but am holding back because he wants to much for it and I think that if I wait awhile he 'll be glad to get rid of it at a price that i'm willing to pay Regards Pete B p.s. We're all coming to Florida on the 19th December so I'll be looking to see if the LOWREY dealer is still in the Shopping Mall at Branston(I think thats it). It's somewhere on the road to Tampa Originally posted by Douglas Dean: Peter,
