Re: [kawaisynths] faulty K1rII symptoms

It is really interesting info from the real expert, he even could get relevant information about chips from the side of Kawai, that‘s surprising. Japanese firms usually don't have spare parts for products older than 10 years (that's Japanese law).

So good luck with reviving this nice machine, you have a chance to do it successfully.

um, it has cost me 60eu.

dunno: SQLguy did an amazing job on that thread cannibalizing ;
a K1m for the part, and changing all three chips in the end
before finding the correct one. so maybe very feasible.

i've replaced it already with a k1r with a simple stereo out.
having 4 outs would really be nice on that machine but 2 is ok
as well.
