K5synth

SYSEX:
======
thanx for the summary..
i guess i have following options:
- replace the battery
- using a another (maybe "oldshool") sysex dump program
- change the midi interface
- try other (libarian) software

Well a friend of mine has this soundquest editor/libarian. but this
was not working either. however i didn´t really knew how to you it.

I don´t own Sounddiver or Cakewalk. But i had succes with these Atari
based Editors (By the way they are great). They run just perfectly for
editing the K5m :) And i had NO problem sending sounds to the k5m. But
these sounds were in special, editorbased formats. However i had still
problems with sending my internal patches again (K5->PC/Atari)

Is there a Ataribased Utily or K5 editor that might help sending sysex?

drT Format
==========
this is the format within those atari editor. i stored my patches in
*.k5v format. Just install STEEM when you are on PC and run the prg.
There should be no problem - i hope ;)

Dead or ALive?
==============
here is another strange thing that happened last night by programming
patches. Suddenly there was a green Light coming out of the corner.
"JUK! it´s alive again!" .. yes the backlight suddenly was working
again.... now the bad part: Tomorrow morning it turned dark again...
and it´s still ....
