Kawai K4

Effect Patch Editor

This editor will work with the Kawai K4 and the Kawai K4r.

Communicating with Edisyn

Set your K4 to receive Program Changes (RCV PGM) and Exclusive (RCV EXCL). See pages 79 and 80 of the manual. You'll also probably want your send channel and receive channel to be the same. I wouldn't set the receive channel to OMNI, as this might conflict with drums.

Effect patches don't have names. This can be very confusing when writing and downloading banks. For example, if you copy Internal04 to the slot of Internal01 (which is slot 1), then re-download it, it'll come back as Internal01! This is because, lacking a patch name, when Edisyn receives the patch, it has to come up with a name for it, and just uses the slot number.

When Edisyn attempts to download the External bank, and you don't have a card in your K4, the K4 will simply ignore requests from Edisyn. This wil make it look like Edisyn is hanging: just stop the download.

Edisyn can quick-request a bank from this synthesizer via Request Bank from Synth. This is a lot faster than the patch-by-patch request method in Download Bank from Synth. So try it out.
