I made my first complete songs on this machine. My first real synthesizer and even a full workstation with 8 track sequencer (realtime recording only), a pattern based drum computer and simple reverb and delay effects. Still it can create an interesting range of sounds somewhere in between analog subtractive and digital FM synths. Finally, besides the usual amp stage, a formant filter with fixed frequencies helps to further shape the result.ĭue to it´s design the K5 has a very unique character and it can be difficult to control the sound, especially when applying dynamic control, e.g. Next follows a filter, which again works by controlling the harmonics. Two sound sources can create a spectrum of 63 of them, where each harmonic can be allocated to one of four dedicated envelopes.
It wasn´t the right sound, which I needed and wanted and although I understood the basic principle, I couldn´t get any usable sounds from it, except for using the presets.īasically the K5 works entirely with harmonics.
The K5 is back in my set up! I owned one of these in the early nineties, but I was young, rather unexperienced in sound programming and not really able to cope with the additive synthesis the K5 offers.
