It worked for me after two trials, I just had to rise the gain higher on 
my computer.

As for the synth, I've cleaned the whole thing and I was able to remove 
all the larger dents and make them almost invisible with a clamp and MDF 
panel. The phones jack was broken, which was easily fixed with a 
panel-mount jack. I'll get replacement keys from Kawai to have a 
fully-working keyboard. The only things that are then going to be 
missing to have the synth in good condition are the slider and encoder 
knobs. Oh, and the NiCd battery didn't leak in my synth. I've removed it 
and installed a diode in the battery circuit, so it'ready for a 3.6V 
LiSoCl2 battery.
