Hi Folks I have just acquired a K5000W, with which I am quite delighted. Very good condition apart from a sticking top 'A', which I fixed in about 5 minutes...
Hi, Matthew, welcome here! Your story is impressive and your personal web pages very interesting. I have also K5000W, MKS70 and MS2000 (plus little bit more,...
Hi ... Thanks for your welcome and glad you found that interesting reading. ... I think that it's a good combination. It's just a pity that the MS2000 ...
Hi Folks On a page of Kawai Germany, I spotted what looked like an external box with all the knobs that you normally get on the 'S' model. Does anyone know...
Last year, there was a person who posted in "want it now" on ebay willing to pay 600. I paid 550 for mine, 600 including shipping in 2002 - 'mint' condition...
Hi Matthew, That was the “Macro Box” you saw, and yes it was to provide the R and W models with the knobs on the S. I cannot remember if it used CCs or...
Quoth Auditory Hallucination at 2008-11-28 10:55... ... There are a couple on eBay Australia at the moment. One is 'Buy it Now' at 800 AUD (approx 400 EUR,...
Hi Ugo Thanks for your reply. ... Yes, that was the name. Using MIDI controllers is cool - at least if you want to build a box that can work with more than one...
The macro knobs on my k5000s sends out midi CC's. I assume the separate macro box is the same. The CC's are.. 16 Harm Lo 17 Harm Hi 18 FF Bias 19 FF Speed...
Quoth dougalli at 2008-12-05 12:35... ... Thanks! I'll assume that all of these are 7-bit controllers as nothing has an MSB/LSB on it. Apart from 71 -...
Those are all 7-bit. Odd/Even is a balance control between odd even harmonics. Harm Lo is thelow harmonics as a group, Harm Hi is the high harmonics. ... I'm...
Quoth dougalli at 2008-12-08 01:05... ... Thank you. That actually makes things quite simple. Very simple, in fact. Think I might actually start out by...
Hi all, I just wanted to post a quick introduction to the list. First of all, great to find a place where people hang out who still appreciate these great...
Hi again, So here's my first help request to the list. I need to open the case of my K5000W because I want to add a switch in front of the inverter (the...
Hi Marc ... I will assume that you know what you are doing here... ... I've had mine just under 2 weeks but have already had to open it up to fix a sticking...
Be very careful with the screws that go into the plastic end cheeks. My secondhand k5000s had the wrongs screws here and they had split the plastic. The end...
... The ONLY weak point! But yes, I've had miserable luck shipping K5000's over the years (both sending and receiving) and those ends will crack if you lok at...
... type of wood for any synth or sampler just need yor end cheeks to be sent to me jammie i also make custom one off solid wood studio furniture made to...
Thanks so much for your help Matthew. I took out those 30 screws with a powered screwdriver and it was really that bad. And you are right, the build quality is...
Hi, I have a terribly whiney display in my K5000W, so I want to embed a little switch into the front panel that cuts the power to the backlight. I understand...
Marc, What you have to do is simply to cut one of the two white cable (those at the right from your picture) and insert the switch between the two cable parts....
Hi, Do you have any examples of wood ends you can share ? Photos ? What kind of prices do they go for? With the K5000 its a little tricky as the ends have...
Allright, I know this was asked somewhat recently for the Rack version, but what is generally accepted as a fair price for a k5000s? I have mine listed on...
Greg, thanks so much but it seems I am not there yet. I inserted the switch between one of those white cables, and when the switch is set to "off" the display...
The noise comes from two parts: - the DC converter on the PSU board where the white cables start (it looks like a little transformer). - The display backlight...
Thanks Greg, but I think my situation here is still different. The inverter definitely emits a very faint noise regardless of whether the switch is on or...
Marc, Under the main board you have the display. So I suppose the noise is coming from it. Strange behavior since the backlight is off. You can try the other...
