I'm thinking about buying a q-80 but it doesn't come with a power supply, I downloaded the manual and it said it uses a "special" power supper that's...
... power ... Well, 10 volts is kind of an odd value I think. You can buy those variable power supplies which let you switch voltage, polarity, and plug size,...

Hey, lee. Welcome to the group. The K1 was my first Kawai synth. Well, K1m, but they sound the same.. It's got a loveable lofi sound. Definitely check out the...

Hello, i sell a K5000s in very good condition, like new (screen and keyb work perfect), with manual + BIG collection of sysex find over the internet + 3 disk...
Yes, the Q-80 is an inscrutable beast... I too have had disk drive problems recently. As with so many instruments from this era, the drives invariably go sour...
sorted the drive problem..sems I was under powering it..the PS is 10v but my universal PS only runs at 9 or 12V. the q-80 was working fine at 9v but the DD did...
Hello I just got myself a Kawai K4r but i didn't get a manual, i have downloaded the low quality .pdf one in the files section which IS a help, but the person...

I'm new, and have a K1r II in the mail. Currious as to the differences between the K1r and K1r II? I have been looking for something different and inexpensive...
I believe the main difference between the K1r and the K1rII is that the mkII has a PCM drum section. (It's nothing very exciting.) Other than that, the K1rII...
I thin the K1r II has drums and on board effects. I have a K1r and it is OK for producing some mysterious sounds. But I think you will find it sitting...

M@rc, download the k4_patches.zip from the file section of this Yahoo group. In it, there should be a SysEx bank file "Xtravaganza.snd.syx" which, I believe,...

There are three main factors in wall-wort power supplies: voltage, VA or max amperage, AC or DC output, and polarity. It's possible that the supply that made...
Hello there! I have a GMega too and I'm looking for patches for this synth or the K11. If anyone has some, I would very much appreciate that you put them up in...

The K3 and k5 are very unique beasts. The k1 and k4 are somewhat similar in architecture, though an sort of port would likely be one-way from the k1 to the k4...
