the sound diver editor sucks but you can do alot with it. No doubt. It really beats pure PCM synths. Find one cheap.

As for the K5000 in particular, I give it beyond a 5. This is the highest quality sound you will ever find in any board. Trust me, I've tried them.

Terrific sound selection and parameter control.

Range extends with separate controller up to 88 keys CONS:

Best for solo or small chords because note stealing occurs easily beyond that if sustained.

Black keys more narrow than standard size - fingers easily slide off.

After Roland`s D-50 i was sure there would not be a synth what could make

"real" odd noises and sounds, but when I after a long obsession to test

that synth played K5000s I was totally shocked... those sounds and what u

can do to them... Oh my God!!! It`s perfect... no wonder they say you can create

your own world of sounds with it! If you don`t know what am I talking about and

you have NOT tested it before... it`s about time to do it, to change your

definition of a good synth.
