Yep, it was long, probably took a year? Attaining age of majority was the longest part I guess ;-) I think I'll rise the price of the ROMs for future orders,...
Hi, I've been troubleshooting a neglected K5 I found. I replaced the battery. Fixed a missing ground trace on the mix output. Verified the power supply...
Does this chip have a bias circuit to set the min/max output voltage scale? It could be something as simple as a cold solder joint finally loosing contact and ...
I resoldered everything involved in this part of the circuit. There is a feedback resistor on the DAC for the audio output. This measures 6.8k same as the...
You wouldn't happen to have an oscilloscope to verify that the output of this chip is actual problem, do you? If you do get the schematics, could you possibly...
Yes I do have a scope I just haven't gotten that far yet. Yesterday I rebuilt the keyboard. This synth has a nice action when it's all greased up and triggers...
How does it sound if you turn S1 all the way down, and start turning up S2? Same distortion? Oh, and where was the after-touch adjustment? I'm always afraid...
The balance only controls the volume for S1 and S2. If S1 is all the way down S2 is cranked. Other than the DDA envelope (oh yeah the DHG levels too) ahhh,...
Hello, I don't know if anyone has had this problem before or not. I just received a K5m that I won on eBay. Whenever I try to send sysex data FROM the K5m to...
Do you use the dump button on the K5m? I'm not so sure it's working with recent computers. You could try to use the Kfuenf librarian to download the sounds. In...
Yes, I use the dump button on the K5m to initiate the transfer. I tried to use the Mac version of kfuenf but couldn't get it to work. I was hoping to backup...
I think you can dump banks, am I right? Maybe you could dump SIA-2 to SIA-12 individually, and then send SIB, SIC, SID, MIA, MIB, MIC, MID. If it doesn't want...
Antione you're a wizard on this synth!!! Thank you!!! Hope everything is cool at home... I found datasheets for every non-Kawai IC in this synth. These docs ...
No, it doesn't want to send any sounds.... and that is unfortunate because I wanted to save the sounds that came with it. I am assuming that if I reset it...
Yep, it will bring back everything to default and you'll end up with only "K5SYNTH" patches. The Kfuenf librarian works under Windows. You could try to find a ...
The beast is fixed!!! I replaced the U14 DAC and the distortion on S2 is gone. Whoohoo!!! I buzzed out the bad PCM55HP and found the Pin-1 <DACF> data line is ...
Anyone have a favorite editor for the K5? I have the beta (and last) version of Soundiver but it only does librarian. I have Sound Quest which has an editor...
The only other options known : - Use Boot Camp to install Windows and run the Atari emulator "STeem" on it. There are a couple of editors available. - Use...
I wonder how an emulator in an emulator would work. I was thinking about the old ST. I actually had two with hard drives at one time. I think I had the Doctor...
Hi guys. I've got a room full of synths and have one slot left for a keyboard synth before I call it quits on synth purchases (aside from feeding my modular.)...
Hi Jim, there are no nested parameters, they're well sorted, the large (for it's time) graphic LCD makes the interface quite easy to use. The problem is with...
