K5synth

Thank you for the info but I tried his sysex (and Alesis's, MIDIQuest, Opcode, Cakewalk, SMF thru Cubase, MidiOX etc) loader to no avail including slowing transmission rates and millisecond delay. I could never get any ack signals from the K5 but is would send all other midi messages.. Yes it is a great site :) The button cleaning guide is top notch. Sorry, I live in the US. As you can imagine, shipping would require a second mortgage haha. There is a synth guy on US ebay from Japan that has allllllllllll of the synths. I would hit him up. If you can't find him let me know, but I am guessing he has one in pristine condition lying around. I am always jealous of his offerings haha. I wish you luck and thank you for the info.
