Hi, I'm new to this group and I was wondering how much demand there is for a Kawai K5. My father has one and is wanting to part with it. He has not ever used...
The K5 seems to be one of those love/hate syndrome of synths. A full keyboard usually goes for 100.00 to 150.00 on ebay. I've seen them sit for weeks, and I've...
About the OS version, you can upgrade it quite easily. resonantorder <resonantorder@...> a écrit : The K5 seems to be one of those love/hate syndrome of...
Thanks for the reply. I'll call my Dad tonight and see which version he has. He sent me a color copy of the the brochure on it. I don't think he has ever...
The upgrade was probably not done, about the only way to knowhow to do it is by suscribing here or visiting kfuenf.org. 1.You have to tell Kawai US, open the...
Really? I was under the impression that it had to be sent back to Kawai for the OS to be upgraded. Could you tell me more? Thanks, D Antoine Deschênes...
Hi all, Does anyone know where to get the latest K5 rom in the UK? I emailed Kawai but have had no reply. Great synth, I need to spend more time with my...
I already e-mailed Kawai UK and got an answer, they sent me the K5 v1.3 ROM file in my e-mail. Strangely, Kawai US thinks that the latest ROM is v1.2 If I...

They sent me an HEX file (Also posted in the files section before) with v1.3 that I will burn using a new Flash ROM with my programmer/burner. I don't have an...
Sorry for this mail! (Probably scammers that want your money using this event.) I found suspicious that the "person" in question had no comment for ...
Hi everyone, I told a while ago that I would make (or at least try to make) a new output stage for the K5 (To have less background noise) so I think it should...
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone here uses Midiquest, and if so, could tell me how to convert Sysex files to Midiquest. I have tried to use the file...
Hi , I use midiquest and it's a great app, but not unexpensive, normally midiquest should load sysex without problems if you have the correct setup for your K5...
Sorry for the very late reply, looks like this mail didn't make it to my e-mail account. About the schematic, well, some people here scanned some parts for me....
Any features you'd like to have? Is anyone interested? I think I found a solution to have some external controls which wouldn't require modifications of the...
Nice tune Joel! Looks like one K5 isn't enough tho... (At least I got an other one a few weeks ago, the one that was announced for sale here.) Have you put...
No, its pure K5, no filters, no op amp tweaks - Its the Alien1 (good choice for a movie about UFO's) patch and a variation I made, in multi mode - voices on...
Wow! nice group. Ive been a K5 user since 96, and have been searching for Overtone since I heard about it in 98 (I even called them to no avail) Thanks. which...
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/msg/246278919.html Someone is selling a K5 on craigslist. It is local to me, but I don't think I want yet another k5, I have...
I am very interested!! I saw some plans on the web to boost the output level by replacing some resistors, I dont know if you have seen them... Something must...
Yes, I saw them, but you get a lot of new problems with the headphones output, it's still as noisy as before, but there's a sudden gain boost when you rise the...
If I remember correctly, the (stock) K5 is a bit noisy. When you replace the resistors the overall output goes up but the noise dB remains the same, so the...
Yep, but if you don't have a good mixer it will just not work at high volumes. The main problem for me is the headphones jack. It's as noisy on both K5s I...
My father has his k5 Synth that he wants to get to someone who could use it. He is not asking anything for the Synth. It has a very nice expensive case. He is...
