I got my K-5 yesterday and was trying to load some programs into it using a couple of sys ex utilities that I have including the one offered on here in the...
In the MIDI menu on the K5, make sure that RCV and TRS channels are set to 1, that OMNI is off, that TRS and RCV Exclusive are on, and that you turned off the...
Thanks for the quick reply. I've done all of those things and rechecked my midi connector's settings on the computer to make usre they are correct. I have no...
Make sure that both the MIDI Out of the K5 is going into your computer's MIDI In __AND__ the MIDI Out of the computer is going into the MIDI In of the K5....
Other things you could look at : -When you press MIDI twice, there's an other menu, make sure PGM is on. -When you're trying to write to a DC-32 memory card,...
Thanks, I'll double check that. I'm not really trying to write to a card but just trying to get some different sounds loaded into my K-5 from the banks offered...
Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion. My midi cable is a usb type so it only has one way of going into the computer, I hope that's not the problem because that...
Your USB MIDI interface should have at least one MIDI In and one MIDI Out. Just pair them up with your K5. Also, when trouble shooting these things (I'm...
Hi everyone, I've got some information : I just found that the Kawai DC-8/DC-16/DC-32 cards are in fact some Fujisoku B-series SRAM cards. I just asked Kawai ...
Thanks, when I said it only has one way of going into the computer I was referring to the end that goes into the computer..the usb end. The other end has the...
Hi Scott, Wow! A driver reinstall. It's so simple, but I would have tried about anything else before thinking about this. Yep, there are great sounds out...
Thanks for your help it is greatly appreciated. My mother used to always tell me that people seem to always look for the most difficult solutions before they...
... What were you planning to do, change the backlight alone or the inverter too? I can tell you that both have probably failed. There's an inverter found at...
Hi, Scott, that thing works at least! good fou you, man; I was sure that the only way that you'd get it should be using a jostick-midi or a pci-midi interface,...
To be honest I didn't know about the inverter, I guess I should change it out too? What does the inverter do? I'll check the banks for that pipe organ sound...
Hi Scott, I just found that mail... The inverter is converting the 6VDC in the PSU to 120VAC 400Hz that the EL backlight needs. www.Kfuenf.org has the guide to...
Howdy, anyone know where I can get a rotary encoder for my K5? Thnax. Rig ... change it out too? What does the inverter do? I'll check the banks for that pipe...
Hi Mark, That's the problem finally? All I was able to find is that it's an Alps encoder... Not very helpful considering almost every encoders are made by...
I don't know if a lot of encoders use pulse switches like this one... If I knew one already I could tell you to buy it just to know if it works. You should be...
Howdy, If I knew what pulses the board is looking for to go up or down, I can build 2 pulse generating circuits with a button for down and a button for up. Rig...
The encoder would be probably really hard to find. However, you can replace about every components on the board apart from the Kawai custom ICs. Even the NEC...
Thanks a lot, the information is greatly appreciated. Scott ... From: Antoine DeschĂªnes To: k5synth@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 12:15 PM ...
Hey, brothers, I've seen that "didobrain2000" has posted some photos with the change of the backlight of his unit. Do you know where I could purchase that...
Hi, he got his backlight from nightlaunch.com, which doesn't exist anymore. The best solution would be to get a roll of EL foil in group I think. They can then...
Maybe a lot of you have work with the Overtone program, didn't you? And you remember that function that allowed to take a "snapshot" of an audio file, and then...
The one I found is called FLATLITE. The onyl problem I found is that once it's cut, the sides have to be taped or sealed back again I think. ... -- Antoine...
