Can't get files to transfer properly

Can't get files to transfer properly

2017-08-03 by toddnickolas@...

Hi. Having a lot of trouble properly getting patches into my recently acquired K5 for some reason. Memory protect is off, Sysex on. Have tried Kfuenf, MIDIox and C6. Multi patch names seem to load but of course without the corresponding singles they don't sound right. With Kfuenf sometimes the first patch will load but then stops. If I try to send patches individually some will work, most fail. Can't figure this out. Advice please!

Hi,

I've envountered this a couple of times with my K5. I resolved it by 
changing the Midi OX output buffer parameters, like 'Delay between 
Buffers' and 'Output Buffer Size'. Don�t know the sweet-spot values.. 
but just increasing delay and decreasing buffer size should do the trick.

Hope this helps!

It might be worth resetting the internal memory (internal battery must be unsoldered and resoldered or replaced) first even if you upgrade the EPROM. 1.0 ends up corrupting it when doing sysex programming.

I still have EEPROMs with 1.3 on them somewhere if you can't find someone to program it. (Or you can buy a USB programmer) The hex file is in the Yahoo group files.

It is 1.0. So maybe will need to pick up a fresh 1.3 EPROM.

I have the exact same problem. Resurrected a K5 from the dead and am now trying to load patches thru midi but it hates sysex. Tried several programs and it just ignores the request syn/ack completely. I am thinking about snagging a 1.3 rom as mine is 1.0 like yours. Very frustrated to put in 20 hours of restoring this beast and not able to do much. Let me know if you have a breakthru or if the rom works for you and good luck :)
