Hi all, Very excited about the prospect of using PX-5S instead of MotifES-8 for portability reasons in a rock cover band. I intend to audition the bread and butter sounds soon, but there a few capabilities the board will need to have for it to work for me in addition to basic keyboard patches. 1. We do quite a few songs where I use the "sync" sound ie The Cars, No Doubt. Does the PX-5S support sync and is there a patch onboard that approximates that sound? 2. Some songs require splits of 4 zones. Assumming 2 of them are tone based and two are HEX based, do the effects for the any given patch change when implimented in a zone vs just playing it in a non- split mode? Are there any real world limitations in this regard that current owners could share on that question. 3. I think I know the answer, but can the board play any user loaded single shot samples? (I had to ask) 4. Finally, Can someone comment on the sound of root-fifth distorted guitar patches. I'm not trying to convince anyone a guitar is being played, but I am currently used to a servicable "back in the mix" guitar-ish sound to support the guitarist when he breaks away for solo's or occasional lead lines. I would appreciate any feedback you'all might have...
