'Mike from Texas' says he bought it and sold it a few days later. This says more about his inability to program a synth, than the quality of this unit. If you can't get a good sound out of this, you're doing something wrong I'm afraid! It's a wonderful machine. No it can't do everything, but what synth really can? If there was one synth that did it all, we'd only need that one synth! I for one am glad each synth has it's own colour, it makes songwriting anbd performing more pleasurable.
Anyway - the sound. It has a lovely, smooth, very analog sound, great for strings, pads, and bass. Construction - only the end cheeks are plastic, the rest is metal (what do you want? wooden knobs? wooden keys?!) It will last if you treat it right. NO instrument should be dropped..
Like most synths that are released that aren't a boring clone of what's come before, the KS4/5 and the rack are hugely underrated. The benefit for you is that you can buy these cheap, so DO!
People love to criticise equipment to make themselves sound knowledgeable, especially when it's a bit of kit their heroes didn't use, and especially when it's a VA. OK I might be getting off topic here but basically it maddens me when people dismiss this beautiful sounding instrument.
Buy one, you will love it. And if you don't, you're not twisting the knobs.
