Thanks, Vic83,
for clearing up all my questions, and confirming that the E500OR has a flawed
OS that will probably never be fixed.
And YES, I recall telling you not to get
your hopes up for Roland to make an expansion
card with ALL of their oriental sounds.
But, I was just hoping that Roland would read
our posts to see that there ACTUALLY IS a demand for such a thing.
I, personally, would prefer to buy Roland
or Yamaha due to their wide distribution
and support rather than GEM or KETRON.
Sammer,
If you live in the US, BEWARE of buying
from overseas(see Arranger Forum posts).
The keyboard warrantee will only be covered
in Europe, not the US! Spending a little more and buying local is a much safer choice.
A good store will match the lowest (in US),
price you can find.
When you say GEM WK5, do you mean "PK5 ORIENTAL". I have never heard of a GEM WK5.
If you are considering the PK5OR, I would
recommend the Yamaha PSR-550 over it, due to
superior sound quality, and floppy drive so
you can add new styles. The Yamaha will not
have the Nay, Mizmar, and Bouzouki sounds
of the PK5OR, but you can program the Yamaha
to sound like most of the other GEM oriental
sounds.
Good Luck.
