Nice demo. I have one of these but never seemed to really bond with it. It does a phenomenal electric guitar so it is my go to for that patch but I use other stuff for pads. Do you have a memory expansion in yours? Do you use Alchemy at all? I would be interested in how you compare them. I got a lot of "out of memory" errors when I was trying to put together some more complex patches and it got frustrating to me.
I really should spend some more time with mine. I got it because I felt the additive synth capabilities would be nice to have OTB also. It definitely is a really playable keyboard.
Some slight clipping in some places, but the sounds... pure digital heaven!
Yes, I haven't got grip with my new recording equipment yet so there's the reason. Thx

Of course. PM me.

Yes, I do. Still, I have to rewrite some bad presets all the time. Not enough space. In combo mode, mixing two sounds with PCM sources gives you 8 voice of polyphony. If one used preset uses additive synthesis, you have 7 voices.
Still, what can you do, it's not that bad...

No, sorry.

True. It took me some time to adjust after years of playing lighters keys, but now it feels superb. Dynamics, aftertouch.. great quality keyboard.

I owned a K3R back in the day and I've been stalking either one of these or a Yamaha AN1x, both to no avail recently....market on both seems to have improved for some reason.
Hope you don't mind, but here is a K5000s track that I submitted to Harmony Central a long time ago - had to be one synth only. It's multi-tracked to an ADAT (yes it was a while ago...)
I was able to contact the person that makes the ME-1 memory expansion boards for the K5000S and they are available. I just paid 80 Euros so hopefully I will have one in short order so that the synth will be a lot more useable.

Late reply (just linked from another thread). I've used that ME-1 upgrade for a few (?) years now. It's been flawless. The seller was really good to work with too. Helpful and responsive. I heard all good reports from others on the Yahoo list as well.
I actually found the mem upgrade more useful than I had expected. It makes juggling patches a lot easier. This is handy when loading whole banks (patch at a time dumps are too much hassle really). It also makes things easier when checking out other user's banks/multis, which reference the additional memory.
PS. I had to push pretty hard on the connector to get it to click into place correctly. I wouldn't normally use that much force on electronics. It was just a tight fit. However, the connector is also holding the PCB in place (don't think I used any other hardware retention, from memory).

+1. I have the same upgrade and had the same experience.
I agree totally that Bernwald is excellent to deal with. The expansion came very quickly and went in flawlessly. Be aware that he cannot ship it with the lithium battery it needs cause that is not allowed in shipments to the US. It doesn't matter because it is a very common battery you can get in any drugstore for about 5 dollars.
It does make a huge difference to the K5000S for creating and storing your own patches. Worth every penny and nice to support a cool person doing it.
I dont use my K5000s as much as I used to. I did make this beat thats on my last album, all with K5000s sounds, except for the drums were Akai XR10, all midi'd thru MPC
