Question:
I intend to buy some synthesizer but I don't want to spend much money (about 150-200$). I have HAMMOND XB-1 and I need some keyboard with good piano, electric piano and strings sounds to play in my blues-rock band. I found KORG X5 but I've never heard how does it sound. Do you think that KORG X5 is good choice for this money? How is yours opinion about it?

Answer:
Don't know about the Kurzweil but I have the rackmount version of the X5, the X5DR. I think the strings and pianos are pretty decent for the money. There are also tons of patches available on the 'net and you should be able to find one for less than $200. If you want to hear how it sounds I could send you an mp3 file of the demo that comes with it - let me know.
