Bob,
No I only traded the cards. Funny enough, a few days later I found
someone on Harmony-Central.com's reader ads who wanted to trade their
EX5R for a CS6X...and in my home town.
The Motif ES I just got kind of made the CS6X redundant sound-wise,
and I traded it for the EX5R. A way cool sounding synth!
Good luck,
Ed
