Re: [kawaisynths] Kawai XD-5 Not Receiving/Recognizing Patch Data

2014-10-13 by Daniel Forró

I have downloaded Owner's Manual and checked it. As I have written,  
you have to:

- set receive and transmit channels to the same value (it is encoded  
in SysEx header)

- switch on System/RCV/RCV Excl

- set Internal Protect to Off

Good luck!
