Kawai Japan has issued a software update for the ES520 portable digital pianos.
This recommended v1.22 software update resolves an issue with the instrument's USB-MIDI port, whereby the device would sometimes not be detected correctly by the computer, or would require the ES520 to be turned on before being connected to the computer in order to be detected successfully.
