The K5000S is VERY digital-sounding. It has a recognizable sound, and lots of
depth. It would take a year to learn how to program it fully, but thanks
to the knobs, you can start from the presets (which are quite good), and
fool around with the knobs. This and the microwave II are the only two machines
I think are worth having two of, if any. Polyphony can get eaten up fast, so
if you plan on using it heavily, you might want to save for the module as well.

This keyboard can make some truly bizarre sounds. The user-assigned knobs allow for realtime expression, and the flexibility of the synth engine allows for a really wide range of sound. If you're looking for more stuff, visit my site at www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Lounge/6766/joes.html

The K5000S is the best digital synth ever in my opinion! It has the most powerful (and complex) Additive Synth engine ever. It can make really strange sounds and is perfect for Ambient, Experimental and Trance music. The only drawback of the K5000S is that there are no Drum kits and the bass sounds are kinda weak. I use the Alesis DM5 for drums and the Nord Lead for Analog and Bass sounds. In my opinion the K5000S is the coolest synth I've ever touched.

My studio contains quite a few analogue synths. I had completely given up on digital synthesis until I played a K5s. A fantastic keyboard capable of making sounds, which should not be possible. Enough said.

After reviewing the K5000s and weighing its different features and stuff, I decided to try it because it looked so excellant. When I tried, my analyzing proved correct. This synth is the best thing to happen to digital synths. I love it !!! It kicks any other synths ass and I sincerley hope that everyone would agree with me on that.
