Sound:
I am a professional who have done keyboard engineering for major recording artists on major labels. I have spent well over $50,000 in gear over the years. I am also a hardcore musician who gigs 3 to 4 nights every week for many years now. I have never been endorsed by any company so I have nothing to gain by my opinion. The X5D ,if you are a programmer has the potential to be one of the most major and valuable musical instruments in your collection. I cant say enough about its great sound potential.

Feature:
somebody once wrote in some article about synthesizers "with a small lcd screen is rather like papering a hallway while looking through the letterbox" x5 excells here. but for the price against features and sonic power it is excellent.
Quality:
bomb proof i dropped mine twice during studio relocation and still cheerfuly switched on and said "hello evrybody" present and previous owners will know what i mean.
Value:
worth every penny. this was actually my first full blown synthesizer. and well worth saving for beginners or pros alike
Desirability:
its compact and good looking for a portable synth even by todays standards, small and cute does go along way.
Sound:
the only thing that i found awkward was there was no resonance control. evrything the sounds are excellent, clear, and very bright.
Ease of Use:
once you get your head round the menus it is pretty simple to get your desired sonic idea in to actual sound. again the small screen didnt help.
Support:
i have dealt with the people at korg many times and even have been to the offices to have an old korg 707 memory reinstalled, considering i live over 300 miles away. they are a pleasure to deal with, in my book thats 50% of overall sale of quality equipment.
Overall:
never replace never. i like/hate my x5 no resonance and a small screen. however the portability, sounds, the overall ease of sound creation and a very large pallett of preinstalled sounds available straight from the box what more could you ask for this excellant synth. i would like to see someone else find all the features and power for same price it went for at that time
