- K4 Profile by Martin Russ
- -------------------------
-
- The K4 is an immensely powerful
- synth which can be exploited
- much more easily by having
- immediate access to the many
- parameters contained inside it-
- especially the mixing facilities!
-
- These K4 profiles provide a
- complete environment for exploring
- the K4, with the exception of the
- Multis (Kawai's fault-they did not
- include any System Exclusive
- messages to get at the Multis!).
-
- There are three Profiles:
- K4SNGPRF.PAN
- K4DRUMS.PAN
- K4EDIT.PAN
-
- Each of these is designed to give
- a comprehensive and easy to use
- way of controlling one specific
- aspect of the K4. Here are the
- details of each:
-
- SINGLE PERFORMANCES
-
- The K4SNGPRF.PAN profile is
- designed to store 8 separate
- settings of the major things
- which need to be set, or even
- adjusted whilst playing a
- sound on the K4. Since most
- of these parameters are spread
- out over several different
- buttons and button presses on
- the K4, having them all in one
- place can make things much
- easier.
-
- The SEND button on the right
- hand side of the MIDIman screen
- will send all the values which
- can be seen on the sliders at
- any time - this is how to use
- MIDIman to store complete user
- settings on pages....
-
- DRUMS
-
- The K4DRUMS.PAN profile can
- be used to give quick access
- to the vast array of drum sounds
- which the K4 is capable of. If you
- have tried to use the menu button
- system then you will know that it
- can be quite tedious, especially
- for setting up a whole keyboard
- widths-worth of drum sounds!
-
- This profile gives the drum
- parameters on a single page -
- and provides 8 pages for the
- storage of complete drum
- sounds for future use.
-
- EDITING
-
- The K4EDIT.PAN profile is a
- traditional full editor for
- the K4. Every parameter for the
- single voices is included, and it
- should make editing sounds much
- easier and faster than using
- the multiple button press system
- which the K4 uses.
-
-
-
- I am advised to include a
- disclaimer because there seem to
- be some unreasonable people out
- there.
-
- "I make no warranty with respect
- to this document, or the profile
- it describes, and disclaim any
- implied/explicit suggestions of
- usefulness for any particular
- purpose. Use this profile only
- if you are willing to assume all
- risks, and damages, if any,
- arising as a result, even if
- it is caused by negligence or
- other fault."
