K5synth

For K5->PC transfer,
If the K5 crashes, it might be a problem that requires to remove and 
replace the battery(Resets RAM, that might have bugs in it caused by 
Protect being off while the tune playing was sending other SysEx than 
presets).

Maybe MIDIox is the problem, you should try to use K5 compatible 
programs(Overtone, SoundDiver(This one directly supports a really long 
list of synths with a different interface to use all synth's features 
for each of them), . . .).

Updating to the latest revision will not help the K5 not to crash IMO 
since the RAM is soldered on the K5's mainboard and is not removable 
like the BIOS chip(Already tried to remove and reinsert every removable 
chips but no success).

Don't even try to find receiving delay, since the delay has to be set on 
the transmitting device and the K5 is slower then about any MIDI 
interface(Well, slower than my MusicQuest MQX-32M, a 1988-9 MIDI interface).
