Some simple Google searches were enough to find Cakewalk instrument definition files for my KORG and Kurzweil keyboards, but it doesn’t look like one really exists for the old Kawai K4 I bought on eBay.

There are, however, a number of software tools to edit K4 patches that also export instrument definition files. Kawai itself has made system exclusive dumps of the K4 available on its web site.

So, I loaded the sysex dump into K4Win, then exported the patch information into an instrument definition file. I cleaned it up a bit to separate the single-voice patches from the multi-voice patches. And because no one else seems to think it’s necessary, I’m making my K4 instrument definition file available for the taking.
