Subject:Technics KN7000 with some B3 presets

Thanks anybody that responded to my question about Kurzweil, in fact seems to be true that he was the first successful  digital piano maker and still sounding as real hammer rather than electric.

This time want to share with you guys that got amazed with an unknown (unless to me) Technics KN7000 used by
a pro on stage of a hotel lounge ( one man instrument show and singer).

The latino rythem was amazing cause the keyboardist (a peer from my 70's playing times) has take advantage of sequencing and tuning the rythm section to thei particular taste and in fact that sounded truly realistic and never resembling  rumba , merengue,  cumbia, bossa, salsa etc. like originated by Asian engineers , told with respect for
musicians there.

At first review I'd say that was like hearing EZdrums with a fantastic wind section, decent Hammond preset (only a few) and a 16bit sequencer "all in one" format., SD card , DIN MIDI socket and USB either.

Better yet, a notebook size LCD to make selections on screen  and foldable for easy transport.

Cons: strings ensemble weren't realistic (except nylon strings i.e. best suited for Peruvian Waltz and Brazilian melodies  a "must" among Latin American musicians

Appreciate your opinions.

Rafael
