Not a bad price. Did you notice an EX5R?

I'd buy it if I hadn't just got the s90. You can't go wrong. The pianos,elec.pianos,clavs,basses,etc. are great on it. Go get it. Merry Christmas.

I really liked the sounds in the EX5 from the first time I checked it out at a store. Is there another, newer board from Yamaha with all the same great sounds? If not, that one sounds like a good deal. Just make sure everything on it is working, since it is a demo unit.

$699 is an awesome price for that synth. I have an EX5R - great toy.

I have an EX-5 and I wouldn't pay that much for it again. It's very buggy (especially for a Yamaha synth, of which I've owned many), it sometimes doesn't even call up its own presets reliably, and its worthless using it with an external hard drive for samples (we're talking 20-minute load times). I use Flash ROM for the little sampling I do, and that works OK although it took a LOT of experimenting to make it work (the manual was incomplete, another odd thing for a Yammie). On the other hand, the sounds ARE gorgeous, sound programming goes as deep as you could want (just two nights ago I set up dual filter envelopes for a falling sound on "Hellagood", lotsa fun!)and obviously I haven't traded mine in yet after four years of use. But still, if it were stolen I'd replace it with something different.

Mr. Botch ,

Thanks for the insight . $700.00 bucks for a 76 key workstation is very tempting . If the keyboard is at the store tonight , I'm checking it out completely . dan the man with a plan .
