The NS5R offers alot for very little...or it offers a little for alot, depending on how you look at it. It has alot of patches but poor sounding, much like a multimedia card. Since sound quality is what I look for it cost alot for what it has too offer. I think you might not find as much about the unit as others is because most people at this site seem to have the pro gear as opposed to semipro. Have you looked at synthzone.com for a NS5R site?
