k1 sysex and stuff.. help!

2006-03-23 by somethingkillingyou

Hi,
I recently joined this group... but I'm a Kawai user only since
yesterday, when my K1m purchased from ebay arrived... 
I'm starting to enjoing it! of course before buyin it I listened 
to the mp3 samples that are in the net...
 
I LOVE the choirs (very mellotronish... am I mad?), breathy pads, 
strings (mellotronish, again!) and digital fx and metallic sounds!

before programming my own sound, I noticed some very interesting 
sounds from the old cards (thanks www.synthmania.com!) that are easy 
to find in sysex format... even @ kawai site! 

I'd like to make some "custum" banks with my favourite sounds, but I 
can't put to work that ChangeIt thing found out linked on 
www.synthzone.com/kawai and whose screenshots are visible in the 
file "k1rcards.pdf" from the files section I found here...

I can't even install that program! pc says error!
My pc runs windows XP, I read that program is for win 3.1...
Is there a way to put it to work for me?

Any suggestion?

same things for the other editor "k1editv2.zip" in file section... 
it opens a DOS screenshot and immediatly it closes itself...
doesn't work!

I tried to use other tools ->SOUNDLIB -> DUMP TOOL -> WSysEx
but I found out several problems:

1)I can only Import/Export ENTIRE banks
2)I can't edit single sounds on a custom bank with my pc and THEN 
transmit the entire banks on K1(m)
3)If I send a single PRESET from one of this editors to K1, I can't 
place the preset in the location that I want, it only replaces IA-1 
Ahh (I reloaded factory presets...)...

what can I do to make my favourite "best of" banks?
I don't even got cards!


HELP!!!

Fabio
