 Hello Antoine:

                I did look up the item you mentioned and it does 
appear to be a window's based editor and as the vendor says 
approximately 3500 sounds at ~ $15. Certainly to have 3500 sounds 
would be nice. In terms of the editor, having a windows based editor 
is also desirable indeed also for the $15, but because I already have 
the editors by terzoid noize and sound quest's I am not sure that the 
editor would be my main interest.
     Now because I realize that there is the possibility that at some 
earlier point a short introduction might have been required of all 
members, am I right in assuming that all the members in this group 
would perhaps fall in one of the following categories? 
 
Group 1: See the K5 as a great synthesizer yet not as "good" musically 
as today's sample based technologies.

Group 2: See their interest in the K5 more like a hobby as oppose 
to "main" instrument for music production, gigging, playing, etc.

Group 3: Are not interested in spending time to program new sounds 
perhaps because the learning curve required to program sounds is too 
steep and only would be interested in obtaining commercially or 
otherwise available patches.

Group 4: Would not mind spending time to program new sounds.

I bring this up because I believe that there are certainly many things 
that still can be done to make the group more active and/or the K5 
more interesting but I guess it all depends on the group's interest. 
Personally although I might have some ideas I might be technologically 
limited in that respect and would need assistance.
 Anyway, I just felt like putting this out to see what type of 
response I get.
