Gosh, Zuki. After reading your post above, I actually am feeling a little guilty about kidding you in that other post. Believe me, I've been there; most recently with the Tyros 2. I bought it under the same circumstances as you bought the SD5. It's not that it's such a bad keyboard, it's not. But the fact that I don't even turn it on for months at a time, speaks volumes. By contrast, I play the Korg (PA1xPro) every day. It has mostly to do with styles and my concept of what they should sound like; truth is, I find the OS on the T2 to be much more user-friendly though they both have/don't have features that I'd want in live play. BTW, I've heard the SD5 demoed live and agree with you that (to my ears) it sounds like puppy poo.

Keep your spirits up. A year from now this whole experience will be a distant memory (unless, of course, it results in a divorce).
