Hi,
How many members have a GMega or K11 synth? I got a K11 last week
and what a bear this synth is. I've made a bank of singles up already
and I found 2 more banks of singles that a K11 owner is going to send
me from Germany. Now I need to work on some performances. I'll upload
everything when I get enough of them together...
Today I took the whole keybed apart and cleaned all the dust
bunnies out of it. I was having velocity problems with a few keys and
found half of the plastic squares that activate the rubber membrane
switches missing from the undersides of the keys but they were
nowhere to be found. Hmmm... After making some up and glueing them in
place the keys now play the way they're supposed to. I also replaced
the battery as it was only 2.7 volts. A new CR2450 and a total reset
and this synth plays great. Removing the battery left all kinds of
gibberish in the memory so the reset was necessary.
I know this synth probably doesn't hold the record but it can dump
sysex forever. Midiquest errors in the same spot everytime on a total
dump then recovers on a retry after several long minutes. Then the
synth just keeps on sending, and sending, and sending. Interesting
Kawai made a multitimbral GM plus so much more synth and it can't
send sysex without sending everything everytime???? No ROM update so
I guess that's it. Does the GMega act any differently?
Well sorry for the long post but there isn't much going on here
anyway. If there are any other fans of these synths, talk it up...
See ya, Narfman
