OS CHIP 5P36-D

2007-05-23 by somethingkillingyou

while changing the battery [a hard time, with all that (unnecessary)
glue and soldering that Kawai used to keep the battery firmly in place]
I noticed that my OS chip is 5P36 "D" and not "G" or "I" like it is 
supposed to be...

in fact, parameter #42 goes up to 6 and this should enable SysEx to be 
received (haven't tried yet); preset 49 btw is helicopter like I 
already said in the last email...

strange...

maybe it could be an "half-way" revision?

velocity and aftertouch are a bit "static", but playable...
I do care much for SysEx btw, some sounds are really cool, but others 
are so and so, and I just want to fill the 100 memories with as much 
useful sounds as possible...

I'm gonna try the Gordon Reid hammond patch that uses #32 waveform

p.s.

the K3 is a bargain! I love it
