Hi there, I had the same problem as
you. I talked to the techinical person at Kawai USA and he sent me the
file to load patch banks using the Cakewalk software. Please
see the files/patch library section on the K5synth Yahoo page, I
saved the patches there. ; You connect your K5 to cakewalk and then load the
file as a cakewalk song, and play the song. When you play the song,
the cakewalk program will send the data to your K5. The K5 is
an older unit and needs to talk to your computer slowly using a "handshake"
protocol, so do not chnage the tempo of the song.
Make sure you have these settings:
Receive channel = 1
Receive exclusive = ON
Memory protect = OFF
Good luck

synth so i'm iniciating inthis new world. I've downloaded the PDF
manual you posted and i'm reading it. But i have a really big problem
and i'm desperate. It turns out that the sounds that came preset with
the synth are awfull. I've been trying to send patches with many
different programs but must have been doing something wrong. The
synth seems to be working properly. When i connect it MIDI and play
it with cakewal it doesn't seem to have any problems. But apart from
using it MIDI i would like to have some good sounds indepedently from
the computer. I just want the synth to have a good piano, some
strngs, maybe a hammond, the standard sounds so i can take it to play
with my band without bringin the whole computer. I've tried with
patchers like the SySex of cakewalk and i couldn do much. Then i
tried with the kfeunf editor and it seemed to have a connection
problem (i could recieve from the synth but i couldn't send). And
finally i been triyn to execute the Doctor T's atari editor with the
steem emulator and it just doesn't want to work.
So please i need someone to tell me what to do. I need to be rescued
or i will freak out. The only thing i want is to have some standard
sounds saved on my synth, that's it. If someone can explain me how to
do it, i will be thankfull.
Thanks
Paul.
