13. SOURCE 4 S 2 Digital Sound vs Natural Sounds If you listen carefully to a singer or a musical instrument you will notice that each note exhibits at least three distinct phases 1 a rapid rise in volume ATTACK 2 a relatively long constant phase SUSTAIN and 3 a gradual fading out DECAY You will also notice that blowing harder into a horn plucking a string harder or shouting changes the tonal quality making the result brighter or distorted The ATTACK phase is particularly difficuit to duplicate because it has a complicated harmonic distribution that changes rapidly with time The K1rII therefore uses PCM recordings of actual instruments to provide the most faithful reproduction A SINGLE patch on the K1rII consists of up to four SOURCEs drawn from the 52 PCM waveforms and 204 VM waveforms available a total of 256 with a separate frequency and envelope for each The result is a combination that accurately reproduces the complex changes in tonal quatity with time and velocity 11 STRIKE HARDER INTENSITY MS SUSTAIN as ATTACK WAVE COMBINE 12 WAVE COMBINE SUSTAIN 3 WAVE ENV Editing Tone Patches 1 Basics 1 EDIT mode Besides its PLAY mode the K1rII features an EDIT mode S which allows you to modify SINGLE and MULTI patches Hello To enter this mode use the normal procedure to select Hello the ton
14. SOURCE consists of a waveform chosen from the 256 basic waveforms available plus pitch volume and various other parameters for modifying it The remaining 32 tone patches are MULTI patches Each MULTI patch is divided into eight SECTIONs Each SECTION consists of a SINGLE patch plus various parameters that tie sound generation to key velocity and keyboard range In other words the synthesizer merges four waveforms to produce a SINGLE patch and then merges eight SINGLE patches to form a MULTI patch Certain built in tone patches illustrate some of the ways in which you can exploit this capability 1 Splitting the keyboard One application would be to split the entire keyboard into various zones assigning a different SINGLE patch to each zone BASS to the lower third PIANO to the middle and STRINGS to the upper third for example The only limit is on the number of zones max 8 The K1rII otherwise gives you complete freedom to divide the keyboard as you wish PIANO 2 Linking sound to velocity Another way to divide SINGLE patches would be to make the SINGLE patch dependent on the key velocity the force with which you strike the key STRINGS for light strokes and BRASS for heavier strokes for example Example STRINGS Light strokes BRASS Heavy strokes 3 Layering sounds Overlapping SINGLE patches with slightly different tunings or with complementary tones produces a richer fuller sound
