  Any comments bout the MIDI timing issues of the EX5? This (and the
  original Motif rack) were supposed to be buggy under heavy MIDI Loading.

  The ES with PLG boards is the current way to go but that is a 3 year old
  synth and a daughter card technology that's over 6 years old. There are
  aspects of the ES that are already dated, such as the use of SmartMedia
  storage and USB1.1. It's still a very usable machine, I like mine but
  the technology is nearing end of life.

  I suspect that next year Yamaha may introduce a new flagship synth but
  whether it will support PLG cards is anyone's guess.
