I know this is kind of cheating. The NS5R contains all the sounds of the X5D(R). And yet some of it sounds different, like Mr Gong or the Koto. And the NS5R handles pitch bending very choppy.
Song originally written by Stephen Kay. MIDI was extracted from the Korg X5DR ROM dump that you can easily find online.

3:01 Right channel main sound is different from real X5D / X5DR, others are the same with real X5D / X5DR. I am familiar with X5D demo songs since 1995-1996 my college MIDI club bought a X5D keyboard for us.

Thanks for sharing those midi files..Could you tell me how did you get the factory demo midi files ? thanks

[@midifilesanddemosongs1024]

There's a page where you can download ROM dumps of the chips of various synths, including the one of the X5D. I searched the binary files for hints of midi data and found two midi files that contained the demo songs.

Why it sounds like autotune's enabled...

[@midifilesanddemosongs1024]

The NS5R doesn't interpret pitch bend events as quickly as it should. Same for portamento.

[@georgefromgreece4119]

@@midifilesanddemosongs1024 does the X5Dr have the same issue?
Actually, is it portamento compatible at all?
Thanks in advance!

[@midifilesanddemosongs1024]

The X5D is can perform these events much faster but it doesn't support portamento at all.
