Profiles for the Kawai K4 Synthesizer

Hi,

There is folder Kawai K4 at the downloads section but there isn´t any files there? Does anyone have profile files for Kawai K4 (or even kawai XD-5:) ?

Many thanks!

I did a layout for a K4 but must have blorked it when I tried to upload it. Thanks to a quirk in the K4 sysex with respect to Tone Mute and Vibrato I gave up on it, tho still have the file - somewhere.

K4 users might like to check this out https://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/projects/gizmo/

One of Gizmo's many features is a Synth helper, an NRPN to Sysex converter for the K4 (and a few others) which sorts out the Tone mute / Vibrato issue.

Hi

I haven't even played a Kawai K4 (although I do own a Kawai K5000R) , but Alan Currall asked me to write one as per his description and he said he liked it.

It is on my web site

http://www.bwalk.com.au/BC2k/BC2k.html

Let me know how it goes.

All the best

HI Royce and Pat,

Many thanks for your reply. I will try the one you made Royce and let you know how it works. Thanks!!

I actually tried to build sysex commands and build my own profile but did not manage get them work...

Best regards,

Mikko

Thanks Royce, I tried your profile and it works!

I also have Kawai XD-5 which is very much same synth except made for drum sounds. I tried this profile for XD-5 but synth did not receive any midi data. Anyone know how to change those sysex commands of K4 to XD-5 ?
