If the separate outs aren’t crucial, I’d recommend finding an RX-7 instead. It has 3-4 times the sounds built in (many excellent ones) that you would otherwise need several cartridges to obtain on the RX-5. 100 built in sounds iirc. Apart from the outs, faders and the sounds they’re basically the same machine.
Surprisingly flexible machine for its age, with pitch envelopes, LFOs, pr-step editing, chromatic playing etc.
