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.

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)  |
