Introducing the Technics KN 5000 Synthesizer Keyboard - Here is a Complete Review
The Technics KN 5000 is a good synthesizer keyboard for intermediate players. Here is a complete review of the KN-5000.
Sounds & Expressiveness
The preset sounds are quite good, especially the acoustic instruments and orchestral sounds like the piano, pads and the brass section.
The Kn-5000 have some of the most amazing organ sounds available on keyboards.
In terms of the styles that are available, the ones on jazz, swing and big band stand out from the rest.
Features
The Technics KN5000 comes with a built-in sequencer for recording your own music. The polyphony is 64, which is adequate for general playing but a bit low for high end composing work.
The on-board effects are great and the best part is the availability of a built in hard drive. On the down side, there is no provision for sound expansion.

Ease of Use
The design and layout is very easy to use; the preset sounds are quite good, and the manual is easy to understand.
Though almost everything can be edited quite easily, programming certain effects can be a bit tedious. Besides, no expansion possible of the onboard waveforms!
Conclusion
The Technics KN 5000 is a good keyboard for intermediate players. It is great for most general things but may be not for professional work. In terms of the number of presets as well, they seem to be limited I number. But it has a good set of special effects and the quality of the sounds, styles is very good.
