The Technics KN6000 is a completely re-designed Technics
keyboard. It had to be special to follow the Technics KN5000.
Sounds
The Technics KN6000 has undergone a complete transformation.
Technics have developed a brand new sound engine, resampled nearly all of the
current sounds, sampled and added brand new sounds. There are over 1000 sounds
on the Technics KN6000.
Rhythms
Technics have broken free from their traditional 5 rhythm parts and expanded
it to 8. Effects can now be added to the sounds in the rhythm section, another
first for Technics. Using rhythms currently available on Technics products just
wouldn't work for the KN6000. All the rhythms are brand new and programmed by
the very best musicians
NX Sound
General Midi has added new dimensions to music making. we are able to
communicate between instruments, to computers even over the internet. General
Midi with it's original 128 voices has been outgrown. Roland have GS , Yamaha
XG, The Technics KN6000 introduces NX a new standard by Technics. NX undestands
all current systems, GM, GM2, XG and GS and introduces some of it's own
parameters, in addition to sequence information the KN6000 allows you to
convert styles from all manafacturers and from previous models of Technics. If
you want to upgrade but have loads of software compatable with you present
instrument don't worry: it's compatable with the Technics KN6000.
 Display
Every musician is different, we all like to play our instrument in a way
that suits us. Technics , once again, are at the forefront of useability. You
are able to change the screen to show information that suits you. You can
redesign the "Homepage", that is the screen that the KN6000 defaults
to. Keep it simple or have as much information as you like before you. One of
the greatest problems of having so much choice is that it can be confusing,
even this added feature makes the instrument more complex. the clever chaps at
Technics have thought of this, there is a choice of predesigned layouts ready
for you.
Custom
"Custom" refers to any section of the keyboard where you can alter
something to suit yourself. The registration memories (Panel Memories) allow
you to save you sounds together with a rhythm to suiit a particular tune, this
is a custom section. Other examples are Sound Memory, Custom Styles, the
Sequencer, Manual Sequence Pads. In addition to these the KN6000 allows us to
customise the Display, the Music Style Arranger. All the "Custom"
sections are stored in "Flash ROM", or in laymans terms, you don't
lose your settings when you turn the instrument off.
Disc Drive
All data is compressed on the Technics KN6000. This means that saving takes
less time and more can be saved.
Music Rest
The Technics KN6000 has a substantial music rest.
Vocal Harmoniser
The Technics KN6000 incorporates a complete vocal harmoniser and
brasseliserThe Vocal harmoniser adds voice harmonies to you singing and the
brasseliser converts your voice into a high quality brass instrument. Most
importantly it is a feature that is easy to use. Great for home caberet and
professionals alike.
