I have a K1 synth that I bought in 1989. I'd like to change the original internal 2032 coin batt. The synth still functions partially as some of the original patches have vanished. There are still a bout 1/2 of them left. I would like to save those on my windows Vista laptop before I change the battery, because a few of them are useful for me in my band. I don't want to risk losing everything changing the battery. Then I could load the original patches from the Kawai website, if I can get this to work. I've downloaded MIDI OX, got a Agptek (cheap) midi interface on ebay. I have the original K1 manual. I saw a video on youtube by Demonic Sweaters and he made this task look quite simple. I've done what he said but I'm having no luck so far. Anyone out there who could guide me in the right direction?

I'm waiting to receive a better quality interface. I'll give your suggestions a try at that time.
