Hi.... As I said in an earlier post I have the chance to buy an SD5 at a good price.

Can someone tell me the advantage of the hard disc supplied by Ketron as opposed to fitting any other type of hard disc.

The price of the Ketron disc is very high... does it have loads of software on it and if so ...what kind?

Finally is it important to have the pattern expansion board fitted ... and how easy/hard is it to install this and a hard drive at home.

I know a few of you guys are in the know with this board and your help would really be appreciated.

P.S. (Is there an overall EQ or compressor on the SD5)...... Thanks in advance.. JDX
