Hi Billy. Definetly - scrap the Casio, and borrow the X5 - you'll be amazed. I predict that you won't let go of it again, or even perhaps get your hands on it's bigger brother - the X5D. Both are available as modules as well; the X5 counterpart would be 05/RW and the x5D:s would be X5DR. The difference is of course that the modules do not have a keyboard. The diff between X5 and X5D is that the latter has brand new A bank of 128 sounds in addition to the B bank (which equals A- bank on the X5) and 64 simultaneous voices as opposed to 32 for the X5. To borrow one "for life" is definitely a bargain.... my 2 cents.... cheers, Thomas On 28 Nov 2001 at 17:28, james_bailey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > Dear Sir, > > Unlike your last caller I am unfortunately no longer alive. > I did however manage to join this list around 2 months ago as I was > intending to obtain some form of synth or sound module for use with a home > PC.
