Kawai Synthesizers

If your midi or audio is intermittent at the connection to the synth 
it could be a bad solder connection at the synth's rear jacks. If the 
cables got yanked or stepped on it usually creates a bad connection 
on the circuit board where the jack is connected. Look at this too...
