K3's additive user wave and harmonic partials

2007-12-20 by somethingkillingyou

Hi there

I'm new here, so here's my first question :)

I got a Kawai K3; you know this old synth has an additive user wave
that you can determine by setting 32 harmonic partials 'non zero
value' (1-31) choosable between the first 128 harmonic partials (the
other 96 harmonics, unused, are 0 value by default)...

of course, I'm using Dr.T's K3edit to have a quick access to it (thank
you!)...

I'd like to use it correctly but I've no idea what I'm doing: the
problem is that you cannot "see" the shape of the waveform with the
program...

is there an application that could help on this. i.e. a software that
lets you tweak at least 32 partials out of 128 (the more the better)
showing you the wave-shape so that you know what you're doing?

also, starting from some samples and isolating a single complete
oscillation of the waveform you wanna reproduce (more or less
complex), is it possible to know which harmonic partials have been
used and their (approssimative) value?

I have a pc, but I'm using STeem, so softwares of both platforms are
welcome...


greetings

Fabio
