Re: [k5synth] k5 sound programming

2012-06-26 by jammie

the sharc dta base is one join the k5000 forum aswell and down load the wizzo book this is a great book explaining about additive synthesis and the dhg and is revelent to the k5
also sample sounds and look at them look how the single cycle waves of a sample are made up cut snippets of them
so you have an actual single cycle sounds then use an additive editor or sounddiver which can dump the single cycle spectra as additive partial data then you can take a couple of these single cycles in a patch an delay then over time so that the sound changes
with the vcf and the dhg you can create very convincing examples
also with the k5 and k5000 its sin additive there is no phase cosin
so the waveforms that are created in the k5/k5000 will not look the same as most waveforms have sin and cosin + noise in there waveforms
but you can get very close to the sound

Subject: [k5synth] k5 sound programming

i recently picked up a kawai k5 and would like to program sounds with it. am familiar with subtractive and fm synthesis, and understand the basics of the k5's additive synthesis. but am wondering if anyone knows of any material online or books that would help to understand how to make certain types of sounds using the additive approach. whether there's documentation somewhere of harmonic structures that could be used as a guide to program the k5's DHG?
