Hi! There are two ways to load patches within K4 or K4R. Using MIDI CABLES between the keyboard and the 'joystick port' of your PC's soundcard or connecting your K4 to your notebook through a 'MIDI interface'. You said that 
'My PC does not MIDI connection' All computers has soundcard: a PCI soundcard or a soundcard included within the motherboard, as usual with the notebooks. The 'joystick port' of the PC's soundcard, by means of 'MIDI cables' (two cables) allows to transmit your K4 patches from the 'edit software' to the RAM memory of your K4 keyboard. No more is necessary. Additionally, there are suppliers who sell cards ( PCMCIA type ) with K4 patches. You must type 'K4 patches' to search. This cards must be inserted within the slot of the K4 panel
and follow the k4 manual instructions. K4 manual and 'original K4 patches' are supplied at 'KAWAI' USA site...Saludos.
