Korg X5D

kopec · Post by **kopec** » Fri Jan 16, 2009 5:42 pm

I have a chance to buy this keys - do you think it's a good
starting point for me? it's possible to make up for example my
own arpeggios ( i don't know the correct word - it should be
the music that is played not by you, but by the instrument,
PC or sth) and I can play along - it's important to me to have
an instrument on which I can teach how to work with MIDI,
have som possibilities, how to edit sounds, and that I can have
for a long time before I buy another one.
Or shall I save more money and invest in let's say Korg Tr-61,
or sth similar?

Help please, thanks to all for answers and advice

Hello.

The X5D is a lovely little keyboard, but it's rather old and it has been discontinued.

it's possible to make up for example my
own arpeggios

No, the X5D doesn't have an arpeg.

Have you seen the new KORG M50 ?
Considering what your looking for, maybe you would be better off saving for one of those.

It's got everything your looking for and much much more. I can see that being a keyboard you could get many years use from.

Regards.
Sharp.

hey, thanks for advice

yeah, I thought so it would be better to save up for sth *bigger*

one more thing if I may, I gotta chance to buy M-audio 88 - dynamic
claviature - i know it's MIDI controller, so I need sound module that
will produce sounds for me and some kind of amp if I want to play it
out loud - what should I buy for that sound module or is it possible
to plug it into my PC and play through some software?

thanks a lot

Hi there.
I've bought this keyboard recently, and there is the only thing I can not understand.
Where are pre-b sounds.
They say there are 200 combinations (pre-a and pre-b), but i've looked throgh the whole manual and didn't find any hint.
Do you have any information?

look for a bank button, which should toggle it from the A-set to the B-set.

My X3R has an A and B bank for the programs as well as the combinations.

The problem is that the "bank" button switches A ang G banks, not B.

Now i know the answer!
The manufacterer sets either pre-a or pre-b bank into bank A, you can reset the data in the menu to pre-b (or pre-a)
