I agree with Joel,

The K5 is a great synth, but it is not the synth for Piano, stings and organ.  I love it becuae it does NOT sound like those instruments. I have samplers for that....  
I have owned a K5000 for 2 weeks now and have decided to keep the K5 for the experimentation and programing purposes.  I saw a K5m sell on ebay (with card) for over $200. Nice to see it still has that kind of value.

  One very common thing when a K5 cannot receive is to make sure that the send and receive channel is set to 1, as many programs default to that setting. 

  The other thing I have to tell you Pablo, is that the K5 is not the right instrument for the bread-and-butter sounds that you are looking for - except perhaps Hammond organ sounds. This is a synthesizer for experimental music making and exploration of sound relationships. For a band I would get some kind of ROMPLER, like a Korg m1, x3, x5, something with real samples of organ, strings, piano, etc. The k5 can be made to do a decent job, but it's a lot of work.
