Hi, i have red in one advertisment, K1 II transmits note-off velocity. I have tried it - and it is true - MIDI monitor in MIDI Quest displays always different
just on a historical note...i read that the Roland MT-32 cease and desist action on emulators was overturned when it turned out that roland did not have
... The K1 series was an 'enhanced' additive synthesis device similar to the Roland D-series. It used samples for attack and additive synthesis for the rest
i have experience of an xs-1/kc-10 and a k1m and looked at the module of a k4 it looks as if kawai constantly use pretty much the same samples as these models
FWIW, I've circuit-bent a K1m, with good results. I managed to find 25 points for a DB25 breakout cable. I've got a photo of the chip to exploit on this
