Re: K5 Sysex Error

Do you use the dump button on the K5m? I'm not so sure it's working
with recent computers. You could try to use the Kfuenf librarian to
download the sounds.

In my K5, V1.0 seemed to corrupt the memory quite easily when I edited
sounds with SysEx. You need to backup the sounds somewhere, and
desolder, solder the battery to reset the memory.
