I got a chance to play this thing early this morning at this dealer.. there was a setup in the backroom with a T4 on top of a T5. Same PA, same settings same eerything. I must admit soundwise the T5 is a step up again. Styles really cut it, and for home use the sounds are nothing but stellar.

Its an instrument clearly aimed at the home user, but it works also perfect for One man bands that play at weddings and parties, or just do lounge music, its very versatile and even the piano sounds really well. need to play piano music at a lunch and it will cut it with some nice piano sounds as long as you have a good PA, everything is still at the tips of your fingers, as long as you dont want or need to do any real time sound edditing and such. Still think that 4 real time controlled knobs and a touchpad for soundcontroll would have made it a perfect thing.

I didnt really miss a touchscreen for live playing, and its not an instrument with deep layers of sound edditing so i cant see how the current Operating system would not serve people well. Its just there to play straight out of the box, and add whatever you want or need to it.

For everyone not playing at a band or as a Deejay, its as good as it gets.
