Hi Ryan, the ROM I will send is version 1.3 for the K5, or version 1.2 for the K5m depending of which synth you have. You can see the version on the boot ...
OK, here's a summary of who I have requesting ROMs right now, please tell me if I forgot you : Lennart Temmink - K5 Robert Gage-Smith - K5m Pete (sandersp1) -...
Hey. I'd like to be included for one of those rommy thingys for my K5. A venerable classic by any means. Thanks for doing this as Kawai has informed me that ...
... OK. ... It's probably going to be PayPal. ... Now, for the final chip price, I'll calculate a few things, since I'm probably going to be buying other parts...
Oooh - put me down as a maybe for a K5M rom. I need to check which version I have, but I seem to remember it being 1.0 drfuzz ... From: antdes45@... To:...
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...
I think Troy still works for Kawai in LA, he was/is the main support guy for all the kawai synth stuff, I have his email address somewhere, I'll see if I still...
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 ...
... Now that you ask it, I think I should upgrade my K5s before buying the lot for everyone, to see if it works, and it would not raise the final price for...
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...
Hi everyone, Kawai of Japan told me so far that the main difference between each versions is the following: V1.0 - power on with Single mode. V1.1 - power on...
Hi Antoine, sorry for my ignorace but ... what is "CAD"? You know, I have v.1.0 in my K5m and I've had problems with global bulk dumps, an error message always...
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...
Hi, I finally started to try a few mods to reduce the noise that the K5 produces(that the 56k resistor mod doesn't fix) I can now confirm that the VCAs(Voltage...
Wow- how did you confirm the VCA's are the noise source? Did you replace them with anything else? What VCA's did you use as replacements? I was unable to get...
... By removing the opamps situated before the VCAs. They had no input, and still lots of noise. Removing the opamps after the VCAs is useless since there is...
Hi all.. I've never posted here before but often check in. I know this is a pretty open question, but would you sell your K5? The reason I ask is I have a kind...
I joined this group because my father has one for sale. He paid around $1000 for it in when it came out 20? years ago. I think they are now worth $100. But his...
Yes, they're worth about $150-200. If your father's K5 has never been used, a worn out one would be a good unit to replace parts in that synth. I can't say if...
