Hello, I have found a 2nd hand EX5R in good condition and price (320 US$). The problem is that I was planning to add a XV-5050 or Fantom XR to my setup (Motif ES7). I would have bought the EX5R at first sight, if I hadn’t already got a similar keyboard, Motif ES7 -and with PLG150-VL board installed. But the deal seems very very good, doesn’t it? What do you think?
EX5R seems to have 256 presets +256 user = 512
Any idea if its AN synthesis is ‘onboard’ or installed ‘on to the board’ like other PLG expansion boards? If it is instelled like a PLG board, than I may uninstall the board and install it to my Motif ES. :) I have to decide fast, because it could be sold any moment. |

There are no PLG boards involved, the EX5 has multiple synthesis engines built in. The $320 price is good. I think you will find an EX5 very similar to the Motif ES overall. Because of that it’s a poor choice if you are looking for something different. |
