K5synth

Hello, 

Klaus' libraran may be Java, but MIDI support works off Windows only. He states linux so that would be possible. 

The easiest way would be to use sysex patches off any midi utility. 

Searching for "mac sysex" I get this as a first result :
http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/

This is a generic SysEx sender. 
You could use the sounds-sysex.zip file and load a syx file to the K5. 
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/k5synth/files/Patch%20Library/

MIDI TRS and RCV turn off on reset, that is on purpose, but turn them on. You don't need the ext card, all it gives you is twice the amount of ram for sounds. There is a load button on K5, but has never seen any use, unless you are tranferring between two K5s using save and load. Just send the SYX file with the sysex utility on the right port, and this should load a full INT bank. All you have to do is to place the protect switch to off and enable exclusive TRS and RCV. 

Cheers,
Antoine

The librarian .jar file runs fine in OSX, I can select and open my "USB MIDI CABLE", but from there, I don't know how to initialize my K5m in the program - I just see the red icon stating there is no connection.
