Hi, yaros,
I'm a newbie and bought a used K4 too. Mine had patches in, but I could use K4win. You should have to use a MIDI cable that has the IN-OUT plugs in one end, and and joystick connector in the other one. This sounds weird, but you need that connector to plug it in your joystick port of your soundcard if you don\ufffdt have MIDI connector. Just remember to plug the IN jack in the OUT intake of your K4 and the OUT jack in the K4 IN intake.
If you have any doubt, just follow this link to see how the cable looks.
I hope this helps. Enjoy!
Jose Angel

Hi,
I am more of a newbie than the first guy. I just bought a used K4 and
found out there are no presets nor any patches. Please tell me how to
load them to the K4. I downloaded the K4win software but do not know
how to connect from the K4 to the computer. What cables do I need? My
computer does not have a MIDI connection.
Thanks in advance.
