K5synth

If I buy a K5m without a functioning LCD, is it possible to still use 
the unit in a studio with an editor program?  And since I have Windows 
XP, what editor program should I use?  Any ideas?

Hi Emil,

The thing is, you have to set the k5 to the right settings in order  
to use the editor, and that will be difficult if you can't see what  
is on the screen. I would suggest ordering a new screen from Telesis  
Used Gear and Backlights, or having them install one for you:

You could probably find a fully functional k5 on Ebay or craigslist  
(although the backlight on most K5 has died by this age, the screens  
are usually good).

For editors, the best I have found is the K5 atari editor, so get a  
copy of Steem for your pc and download the K5 editor from our files  
section or from the "Tim's Atari Midi World" website.

Like Joel said, the Atari editor is good, and it works with XP with the 
Steem emulator.

It's probably possible to fix it as well, I think I found suitable 
replacements the other day at futurelec.com
It's easier to browse through patches or do a small function edit with 
the LCD, configuring the MIDI and SYSTEM panels are your biggest 
problems without it.
