No, the DX5 is a DX1 without the major panel work - just the  
horrendous FM-era menu and operator-select buttons and not much else.   
The DX5 is a scaled down DX1.  Very nice big fat keyboard, but  
unfortunately had some rather crippling problems that effected my  
music for years - like after-touch and velocity that only went up to  
100, instead of 127, for example ..

I've gone off Yamaha completely since the AWM2 era failed to cease.
