Hi, I'm not sure about the issue. Perhaps a dead screen could be the problem. I just thought I'd mention that the S is probably a better option than the W...
It sounds to me like your display is going bad. LCD displays usually make noise when they fail. In particular it seems that one of the display components is...
Hello, I recently purchased a Kawai K5000W used, and after getting it home, discovered it had a glitch. Sporadically, there is a white noise sound followed by...
I checked at home last night properly and it is indeed a tp8s not a 9. and yes it is the same on both my virus KC and my k5000s as Greg said u can also find...
Didn't think of that...or that I could call Kawai and ask them ! Bob ... From: John Mahoney To: K5000@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 6:01 AM ...
Hello, I got my k5000s SH and the first thing i did was to open it and remove the all Kbd and clean all contacts one by one and the VEL and AT sensors too it...
Hi Bob, Dunno the serial number on mine, and it's in storage at the moment. I do have my Polymorph with me though (keyboardless synths being much easier to...
Thank you both for the Fatar info....I should probably contact them and ask which of their keybeds are compatible....and hopefully less than the Doepfer...
Hi John That's interesting and encouraging that it may not have been something I did.... My K5000S serial number is 600468....what is yours? Bob El Segundo, CA...
Hi Rohan Thanks, never had it in direct sun but who knows from the previous owner.... Bob ... From: Rohan Baker To: K5000@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday,...
I just noticed that the TP8S has the correct looking black keys, so maybe it is the one (and not the TP9S). Also, the TP8S cross-section view shows the white...
I'm curious how you know the K5000 has this keybed? The black keys in the photo are not flat on the top, but they do look textured. Maybe Fatar recommends it...
Hello Bob, the Lovely kbd on the k5000s is a Fatar TP9S http://www.fatar.com/Pages/TP_9S.htm http://www.fatar.com/FOTO%20HIGH/TP_9S.jpg same as in the Virus KC...
I don't have any photos of my K5000S to post (and it's on the other side of the world at the moment), but the keys on mine are about the same colour as yours,...
Hi UCD Interesting about the acid but since the yellowing is uniform, don't think it's from that. Maybe a wrong cleaning fluid used on the keys started the...
That's not as bad as I thought it might be but it still aint as pretty as "white" keys are supposed to look. Are the keys slippery or sticky at all? I am still...
Thanks Greg. You might be right on the rounding an I never took notice of it. I don't know what the previous owner did....maybe he left the synth out in the...
Wow, Bob! Very informative article. I'm guessing you are on to something here. I read (quickly) the entire article and had another thought. Hopefully, I...
Bpb, Actually, the black keys were manufactured with that textured satin finish and their shaping is comfortably rounded by design. For me, I think this all...
