I think X5D sounds fabulous even to modern standards. Therefore I plan to make a controller program to give access to all of the 500 parameters and even adding new things like arpeggio, metronome, portamento and macros.
Should I buy X5D or X5? I know both are almost the same. There's a X5 for 350 euros at my local music store where I can test it and see if it's fully working. X5D can be bought cheaper from online abroad with big postages but obviously I can't test them first. I have also some interest editing the sounds but that's more limited in X5?
Differences between X5 and X5D is that X5D has 64 voice polyphonic (X5 has 32) and ROM memory is larger, (8mb vs 6mb). That means there is more sampled sounds in it 430 on X5D vs 340 on X5, also X5D has more drum sounds in memory, but all parameters for sound making is exactly the same, so if you want to tweaking and programming, than X5 is good enough.
The synth is more than capable of sounding extremely modern in the right hands. Particularly with nicely programmed EDM-type sounds. It can be made to do a lot of things overall though of course
@Mustafa it depends on what audio driver you use. ASIO is generally a good choice on Windows at least. Even better still if you get an audio interface to plug your synth(s) into.
@Mustafa I don't have an X5D. I do have an M-Audio Oxygen 25 MIDI controller. I can tell you right now that ASIO4ALL is an honest to goodness nightmare to use properly and, while FL Studio ASIO is fine, I did notice that there's a fair bit of latency that makes playing slightly more difficult in my opinion. Using an audio interface reduces that much more than FL Studio ASIO and is infinitely easier to use than ASIO4ALL
@Mustafa Me to use a M-audio interface. Kontaktplayer Piano Noir was working fine in the beginning but my computer is getting slow due to too little free space on my hard drive.
Thanks for asking but it is not finished yet. Can you help out by programming some modules in the language of PureBasic? www.purebasic.com/ plz help my channel to grow by pressing like & subscribe. By 1000 followers I will put some extra effort into this project.
