Re: got K1 and K3.. should I go for K5?

Hi,

I don't know the K1 and K3 much, but the K5 sure is a nice synth to 
have. One thing, however, is that it's very hard to make sounds (there 
are too much parameters). Software editors can help a lot.

The only difference the K5m has with the K5 is that it has no keyboard, 
no wheels and no pedal jacks.

In America, prices are around $120-$275 for a K5, but it depends on the 
condition, if there's a box and/or manual and if there's a DC-32 RAM 
card with it (doubles the number of sounds -> 96 total). There is more 
demand for the K5m it seems, so it sells for a bit more.
