Hey, everyone!

I recently wrote a blog entry about my experiences with my K5m on the Relaxed Machinery Community site.

You might get a kick out of it!

The Ambient Synth - #4: Reconciling with your Synthesizer

Basically after being frustrated for a year with the synth, I recently had some programming sessions that gave me some great results! I really like the synth a lot now, and I'm looking forward to using it more and more!

And you can download my K5m demo on an mp3 here:

I'm running the K5m through an external EQ and reverb unit.

You'll hear some basic synth sounds with the K5m, like string machine sounds and sawtooth brass. I wanted to hear what it can do with those basic tones. Also, I experiment with some waveform modulation in other sounds as well.

Thanks! I think I will program some more patches and upload the bank to the group files.  I think it's intimidating sometimes when you have to program your waveforms from scratch every time.  Kawai would have had a little better design if they would have included a library of waveforms you could choose as a start, but keep experimenting! After a while the programming gets easier.  Good Luck!

I was so disappointed with the presets of my K5M that I've never installed it in my studio; but I know that with a little effort, it should be capable of some great sounds. Feel free to post a file of your programs, they sound good! I'll have to make some space in my rack and give the K5m another go...
