Well for my defense I was young. ;)

But I still don't like the E5, it was IMHO a crap buy, no multi-timbral midi, no accessing or tweaking the samples, you could only add a fixed echo, sustain or reverb, and that's about it. It wasn't a real synthesizer, more like a toy in that regard.

The samples were pretty clean, but there was nothing special about them, and like I said one couldn't access them below the surface and fiddle with them.

Did I mention the midi? It wasn't a GM synth, so the patches were all over the place. One had to go through each instrument and find the corresponding channel via the sequencer on the computer. That was an arduous task. I did it once on the Atari ST^E and do not wish to do it again, ever. And because there wasn't any kind of multi-timbrality, like on the D20, the simultaneously playable midi channels were seriously limited.

Yeah well, other than that, it's a keyboard, you can play it. If you don't mind the unrealistic sounds and all. ;)

I thank you on behalf of my father.
