Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew what features are addressed in ver 1.3 ROM for the K5 and 1.2 ROM for the K5M. I am not sure if I saw that listed in any of...

Hi, I have absolutely no idea for v1.3, but, if I remember correctly, quite a few MIDI/SysEx glitches are solved between v1.0 and v1.2. I think version 1.3 is...

Antoine, Thanks for the reply. It is good that you sent an e-mail to KOJ about it. When do you plan to upgrade your own K5? How does the ROM programmer work? ...

Welp, I finally remembered to check my K5M, and it has the 1.2 rom, so it looks like I am good - please remove me from the rom list. Thanks, drfuzz ...

OK, you're there. I think I'll fix the cost at $6 CAD per ROM, and the other fees will add themselves over this : -Shipping, which seems to cost $5.88 CAD no...

CAD is Canadian Dollar, it's worth about 0.85 US Dollars. I should start working on a different mod than the 56k resistors soon, because that mod doesn't work...
