Hello!

I just got a Kawai XD-5 from Sam Ash (their last one), but I have a
couple problems that I was hoping someone might be able to help me
with. See, it was a used device that had to go back to Kawai at one
point to be fixed.

Unfortunately, at some point the memory was completely erased and all
of the settings are set to a dual Wave 1 tone, which is very annoying
because I'd like to use it as a drum machine not a synth for the time
being.

Does anyone know if there is a Preset Reset function on this little
guy? If so, how do you activate it?

Or, alternatively, can anyone point me to an FTP, Gopher, or WWW site
that has patches/banks/kits in sysex? Or maybe, could anyone just do
a full sysex dump and send me a UUDECODEd copy? Please!!!

Thank you very much if you can help!

- Bill

I can't find any such function in my XD5 manual. If someone can give me
a FTP address and file name for an IBM sysex librarian then I'll dump
the info from my XD5 and email to you. (I don't have a librarian, but I
do have an XD5)

Cheers

Press power, write, and system and your mem is set to presets...

Thanks for the info, but that didn't work for mine. After some
experimenting, though I did figure out the following keystrokes:

SYSTEM at power up = Display Version Number
SYSTEM + PREV at power up = Reset Preset Data

Thank you everybody who offered to send me sysex files. I'm all up
and running again.

Now if anyone has some patches they'd like to trade, let's talk!

Sorry, it's power, system, and prev to get factory presets.
