KVR Audio

Nils, I've been reading your blog posts and I have to say your dedication to authenticity is outstanding! I was particularly interested in your methods of determining how to correctly implement the aliasing which is such a distinctive part of the K1 series sound.

That got me wondering what it would sound like without aliasing. I know this is a very niche request and would be way down the priority list of new features, but is there any chance you could implement a way to toggle the aliasing on/off??

Thanks again for your hard work creating this re-creation of a synth I used to own and know so well.

That would just mean using sinc interpolation instead of linear interpolation, it would already reduce aliasing a great deal.

Includes 968 Single presets and 384 Multi presets, the original factory bank + all ROM cards + all 200 Kawai PHm Pop Synth Module Singles.

Where are they?

Or does FL Studio just show the first XXX presets of the total amount?

You need to switch between 'Singles' and 'Multis' on the K1v GUI.
If 'Singles' are 'active', then hosts see (only) the 968 singles.
If 'Multis' are 'active', then hosts see the 384 multis.
At least this is what (also) happens within energyXT.

I can only see 768 presets, but maybe that's a limitation of the FL browser.

If you click on the LCD, what version number do you see? Sound like your version is not up to date, I added the 200 PHm presets in a later version.

Thanks, updated and can switch and see all

PS: Playing "E" on a PC keyboard always turns the Edit mode on :-/

I would like to delete some sampler patches (Directwave) recorded from the K1.

Does anybody know the real names of those presets or are they personal patches?

#1 - "K1 Opening"
#2 - "Bombastic"
#3 - "Hardstring"
#4 - "4 Strings"

this probably uses a lot of the same or similar PCM's

Actually only very few K1v waves are in K5000, not an awful lot. And they are higher quality samples, too.

Wasn't the K5000S Additive only ?

No, the 5000 series also had a PCM section.

"Polyphony - 32 for the K5000S which has only the additive engine, and 64 for the K5000W which has the additive and PCM/GM engines",

This seems to contradict the Vintage Synth article:

This seems like a good price for a K5000S:
