If you've looked at softsynths that do allow modulation per partial it gets really hairy. That was my point, or maybe my question. We know a saw is all harmonics at a decreasing amplitude and a square is all odd harmonics at a decreasing amplitude, but what do you get if you skip every other odd ha...

think of additive synthesis kind of like a morphing filter... the k5 has 128 partials per oscillator, but you only get 4 harmonic envelopes, so you have to group harmonics... K3's user waveform is a simple fixed spectrum (single cicle waveform)... you have 2 memory slot only with a cartridge, and y...

I guess I'm the only one with a K5...

go with the K4r, nevermind K4's shitty original FXs, use your own or your daw's instead.

Hi there, A friend of mine is currently looking into installing the Gotek floppy Emulator in his samplers (Emu and Ensoniq). I think he successfully did it for his Ensoniq Mirage and so it should work with the other units as well. I think on the PC side there won't be a problem. With Omniflop you c...

Hi, I own an SD1/32 and I'd like to replace the floppy drive with an USB floppy emulator. Of course, I want to do it as cheap as possible, I can't justify spending more than what I paid for the synth itself. Now, since the original drive uses DSDD, I think the SFRM72-TU100K USB driver emulator could...

happened the same to me... one of the filters is gone. it's an ssm2044, you can find 'em on the bay...

that's interesting, but way overcomplicated! there must be a way in synthesis!?!

I wonder if something similar can be done via AM (amplitude modulation)... in a Kawai group (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Kawai-K/info) we discussed about how to obtain PWM in Kawai series digital synth... for the K1, we ended up using a sawtooth and a ramp waveform (both present in the synth...

SO... Osc sync IS pwm! Morevover, it modulates the width of ANY waveform!

Hard sync makes one wave (the slave) reset its waveform when the other wave (the master) restarts. The "resetting within a cycle" effect of hard sync effectively changes the shape of the wave, which changes the harmonic structure and thus the timbre or sound of the oscillator. Pulse waves are uniqu...

If you got max 4 live as well you could try the MPK MAX EDITOR http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device/2084/mpkmax ( for mpk mini , but the lpd8 should work ? ) I use a few different sequencer patches for my launch pad and for me it makes it feel like hardware were I'd want it to be . The roll you...

ok!

so I got myself an APC Key 25 AND an LPD8.
