K5synth

Hi,

I have absolutely no idea for v1.3, but, if I remember correctly, quite 
a few MIDI/SysEx glitches are solved between v1.0 and v1.2. I think 
version 1.3 is only a minimal fix to version 1.2, there are about 50 
different characters in the compiled binary files. I know, from posts 
sent years ago here, that if we have 1.0, it's worth upgrading it to 
something else.

Sorry if there's no list, Kawai itself might have it. I think there's 
going to be more luck asking at Kawai of Japan, I'm going to send them 
an e-mail now.

I never updated the K5's ROMs myself to tell you what there is 
specifically, but since I've got a ROM programmer a few months ago, I 
can do it. The chip I plan to buy is told to be 100% compatible with 
what is currently in the synthesizer, and is told to work in my ROM 
programmer.
