Hello - I just joined

2004-08-07 by nelsonj_sce

Hey all,
I just joined and wanted to say hello.  I have a k5 on the way and I
should get it this Friday.  Anyway, I was debating about getting the
synth - and my main gripe was that programing all that harmonic
content is very hard.  What made me pull the trigger was this group
when I read up on Leslie Sanford's "Wave Maker" and that he was able
to resynth both the k3 and the DW.  I just can't explain how cool that
is - thanks very much Leslie for doing this.  If Kawai shipped
software like this when they released the K5 Yamaha would have been in
big trouble.  I already loaded up your program (and all the other
nasties you need to run it)  and have been experimenting with some
wave files.  I can't wait to try loading things up when my K5 arrives.

Just a bit more about me, my main axe is a K2000 and I recently got an
Ion (which I just love).  I love to program (the Kuzweil is work, the
Ion is a dream - I fugure without software the K5 basically can't be
programed.) So my setup has samples and VA covered in spades, but I
hope to get some in-your-face digital harshness out of the K5 - I just
don't have that in my set up right now.  If anyone is interested, you
can check out some of my stuff at:
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/highpantsguys.htm

The last song uses a Kawai K1II (that was stolen shortly after this
recording) I would love to resynth a K1 for the K5! 

Anyway, I use a PC and I am trying to get that Atari Dr. T editor up
and running and am having problems.  The Atari emulator works, but I
don't know how to run the Dr. T files.  That is, do I need to create a
"disk image" or create an Atari drive that has the Dr. T files...if
anyone is running Dr.T and can give me some tips on how to get the
program started it would be much appreciated.

Hi there, I liked your E-mail. Actually I am expecting my K2000 and was going to sell my K5 to make room for it. Your E-mail has made me reconsider. I liked you music too.

K2000 cannot do.  If you decide to sell your K5, at least make .wav
files of all your favorite sounds first - you can always load the .wav
in to the K2000 later on (but you lose out on all the real-time
modulation of the K5).  If it doesn't have one, make sure you get a
hard drive for the K2000 (I got a 500Mb Mac Drive off e-bay for $10
and it works great and you just need a cable and four screws to mount
it.)   
 
"I liked you music too." - Thank you.  Ebola V5 Bass, Vibes, Drums,
Memory Moog and lead are all K2000 (but none are "stock" sounds except
the Drums).

Re: [k5synth] Hello - I just joined

2004-08-12 by Thane

I have two 8 space racks full of synths. I have the K5m mounted on top so I can see the screen since the back light is out. I would keep the K5 but I have the K5000 also and the K5m is a 4 space rack unit (as you know I am sure) and it takes a lot of room.
I had a question four you guys not related to the K5, but the music I hear a lot of guys make with the K5. Most of the stuff I am hearing sounds great for synths but is lacking punch and dynamics as far as the drums are concerned. Of course the K5 does not have sampled drums but my compositions use my other gear for the drums. My question is do you think being a keyboard composer that knows how to play drums help you final sound? Are you guys happy with your drums on your compositions? I played drums many years ago and find that my drums are the frist thing I lay down, then layer the other stuff on top of the drums.

Hey all,
I just joined and wanted to say hello. I have a k5 on the way and I
should get it this Friday. Anyway, I was debating about getting the
synth - and my main gripe was that programing all that harmonic
content is very hard. What made me pull the trigger was this group
when I read up on Leslie Sanford's "Wave Maker" and that he was able
to resynth both the k3 and the DW. I just can't explain how cool that
is - thanks very much Leslie for doing this. If Kawai shipped
software like this when they released the K5 Yamaha would have been in
big trouble. ; I already loaded up your program (and all the other
nasties you need to run it) and have been experimenting with some
wave files. I can't wait to try loading things up when my K5 arrives.

Just a bit more about me, my main axe is a K2000 and I recently got an
Ion (which I just love). I love to program (the Kuzweil is work, the
Ion is a dream - I fugure without software the K5 basically can't be

The last song uses a Kawai K1II (that was stolen shortly after this
recording) I would love to resynth a K1 for the K5!

Anyway, I use a PC and I am trying to get that Atari Dr. T editor up
and running and am having problems. The Atari emulator works, but I
don't know how to run the Dr. T files. That is, do I need to create a
"disk image" or create an Atari drive that has the Dr. T files...if
anyone is running Dr.T and can give me some tips on how to get the
program started it would be much appreciated.

If you don't want to learn to play trap-set drums, you can get yourself a Dumbek and other hand percussion, and learn to play those. I play my drum parts on the keyboard, the full length of the composition, to give it a more dynamic feel. When I quantize, I usually use a percentage quantize (80-90%), so I don't lose the human feel, plus a little swing quantize. Sometimes I record hand percussion as well (using a Shure 57, which seems to be the best for hand drums - condenser mic's are better for vocals and other instruments).
