Re: Thinking About Getting a K5

Thanks.  Kfuenf's site was a nice little walkthrough.  Looks like
programming the harmonic envelopes is going to be the most tedious but
as that's also the most interesting parts, I don't think I'd be
spending any more time than I intended to anyway.  I went ahead and
pulled the trigger on one on eBay so if it sucks...  I'm coming after
you!!!

Love,
Jim
