1. INTRODUCTION ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
K4Ed_Professional is a very comfortable soundeditor for the Kawai_K4-
Sythesizer which makes it easy for you to edit the numerous parameters
of Singles, Multis, Effects and Drums.
There are a lot of powerful funktions included in K4Ed_Professional, e.g.:
Editing of the parameters can be done by mouse (grab-and-drag) or by keys.
All changes will be send immediatly (autosend) to the K4 if desired.
If you want to hear and test your sound-creations you can simply use your
Amiga-keyboard (with 2.5 octaves) to play notes. Its also possible to
transpose the octaves (from C-1 to G#-6) and to change the velocity and
midichannel.
Another feature is the multipleload_funktion. This is very helpful if
you want to load a lot of Singles or Multis which are not stored in a
bank. You can load up to 64 Singles or Multis at once or if you choose
less you can insert them in a already filled bank.
