I'd give it a 5 of 5 except that the EX5 SCSI is terribly slow. My timing shows 6:45 to load a 10MB sample. Thats over 40 minutes to load the whole memory!!! Another problem I found is that when sequencing many tracks, a 4 voice pad caused the timing to go off a bit. Other than these two problems, the EX5 is the best yet!

OK, OK, so I gave it a 5/5...I've seen 'em all, and even though I couldn't afford it, I b-lined it to the cashier to get my hands on this machine. I haven't had any trouble with the sequencer. I find that I get lost in the sound. I still need to learn a bit more about the EX5, but I'm confident that it's possible to get about any sound out of this machine. Completely impressed...

I must admit that IAM not a Yamaha fan. But today I went to a music store and tried this beast and I couden't believe how Yamaha had been able to make such a powerful synth at only $3,125 Canadian dls . I was a little bit disappointed with some of the factory sound. But let me tell you that after twitling and resample some of the patches it is incredible what you can do . The sampler is very user friendly. To bad I just bought a Trinity 4 months ago. I wonder what Korg, Roland, kurzweil are doing to maintain their market share. Last time that YAMAHA made a revolutionary keyboard ,the DX7 now they did it again with the EX5
