The architecture is classic (2 oscilos + filter + amp) x 2 with sounds; multitimbral 8x effective and drum-kit.
Description of what seems CHARACTERISTICS of the machine, the rest is available on the net
Architecture of a sound:
. 256 waveforms 16/12bits = There's the choice!
. 16 bit. a pioneer in the genre, but it was a bit of trouble distinguishing 16bits
. Many forms, or micro-samples (PCM technology of the era).
. Some dnotent by their quality and their reconnaissabilit piano, strings,. etc.. It sells for DMOS!!
. Filter VERY rsons when pushed back = up to saturation
. diffrent config oscilos between 4 / 2 filters, 24 dB for a filter, necessarily a link between the two filter SERIES, so no config with two 24db filters. LPF only.
. possibility of pseudo ring modulator, but not a ring amplitude modulation between oscilos. It looks at the result.
Regarding multis:
. 8 multis (1-8) 8 assignable bus (A - H)
. Trip Builder tables mix bus 8 (A - H) is assigned a vol/pan/fx1send/fx2send on each of them.
. The brand quickly became complicated but it is doing.
. When pressed, allows for a mix 8 parts with 2 dosage on fx indpendants.
Regarding the effects:
. Quality unless mdiocres.
. Most interressants: the dlais (especially the chorus / dlais) saturations.
. Legal specially for saturation fantastic shades are obtained. In addition there is a natural saturation of the machine, giving pouvantablement things interesting.
There's also a drum-kit, with assignments on the bus A - H.
Model for the keyboard:
. Dconnecter possibility of the keyboard and use it to master keyboard.
. EXCELLENT touch keyboard (personal opinion), semi-good ballast for nuances.
. Aftertouch.
For the rack version:
. No effect, but spares 8 outputs, 8 bus.
UTILIZATION
Good keyboard, good wheels, a little plastic button (less with the rack), printing of solidity anyway. and this keyboard, it's damn enjoyable.
The edition of a sound is easy, even without soft editing. The rack version (K4R is shorter), offers the same menu for editing sounds. It should still have the manual for a list of pcm (the K4 displays only the number), but also for the entire architecture, sometimes a little complex.
The multiplayer mode is good enough, even too much because you get lost. The mixer virtual grate is not easy and can s'nerver when no sound comes out of the machine.
SOUNDS
It's analogiquo / numrique 1990, one of the first 16 bits out of the synth. Your exact is much cleaner than the pubs of the era would have us believe, is not exactly clean in appearance than the K4 excels, but the dirty cot precisely: the mellotron violin, the based noise effects of all kinds. Ring modulation allows for nuance, the DX7, but the sound is quite dirty.
The filter is sharp, especially in mode 24 dB; rsonnance breaks the ears, it can "cut" in the sounds cfm. In fact many people are used to qualify trs textures. In 4 oscilos / her, it can give sound quite complex.
OVERALL OPINION
I had this machine its release, or almost. And yet today, I immediately find the new sounds is to say ...
The major advantage of this machine are the truly original sound, or say some grimey (e) s. The overall saturation (this is just be my model!) Gives the impression that the converters output cash not good. must be non-stop play on volumes to calm the "energies" of the craft.
This machine is not expensive OCCAZ, it's worth waiting for that do nothing spcial; be found TRS analog sounds / effects / sounds.
It's also a good master keyboard, because touch is trs enjoyable and allows good grades.
