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

hi,

I really don't care for the keyboard version because 1)I don't need it
and 2)it's big and I've no room for it! so it's got to be K5m!

I heard about the display issues...
my 19" synth rack is on the floor, under my keys stand, so if I can
edit everything with some PC editors I'll not even need to sit down on
the floor and watch at the spent display with a torch to figure out
what's goin' on (this would be really uncomfortable!)
and I'm not talking about program edit, I'd just like to connect the
midi ports and edit EVERYTHING with pc without touching the K5m :)

are there other issues besides display and noisy outputs?
