During the first few years, I had no effects to enrich the sound,and it sounded

very thin and plate. Since I bought a SX700 it gave my D5 the missing spark.

What I like in this synth is the "analogue" part which can produce excellent lead synth,

bass, strings and pads sounds.

Pipe Organ sounds are great with a big reverb, and electric organ sounds can be

really smashing when used with a saturated leslie effect.

If you're looking for realistic acoustic sounds, don't buy it (except for percussion sounds),

but if you like to program, and like analogue sounds, try to get one. You can even edit while playing the arpeggiator and make it sound like a TB303. Unisyn can edit D5 patches and sounds, but is, for this machine, really inferior to

steinberg synthworks for Atari which was exploiting hidden features like the

5th enveloppe point for TVA.

I like the sound since I could modified voices which available built in.

If any of you have information where to find it, please mail me.

The only complain that I have, are the terrible key's. They guest vanish every time when I'm in the middle of a performance.

The brass sounds are loveley, as the strings...

But really, I can't miss him :-)

analog bass and analog brass. It was my first synth (next to a sequential circuits

600 and Roland SH-101) and will forever remain in my progressing arsenal.

analog bass, brass and string sounds were good and I like the piano sounds as

well. Whenever I found myself to be aching for a new synth but did not have the money to buy, I would dig deeper and come up with more new sounds that I had not discovered. I've reinvented the palette at least four or five times.

They way I see it, you already know what it can't do, so challenge yourself: buy it and see what it can do!!! Take it to the limit and set your imagination in overdrive!
