I have two 8 space racks full of synths. I have the K5m mounted on top so I can see the screen since the back light is out. I would keep the K5 but I have the K5000 also and the K5m is a 4 space rack unit (as you know I am sure) and it takes a lot of room. I had a question four you guys not related to the K5, but the music I hear a lot of guys make with the K5. Most of the stuff I am hearing sounds great for synths but is lacking punch and dynamics as far as the drums are concerned. Of course the K5 does not have sampled drums but my compositions use my other gear for the drums. My question is do you think being a keyboard composer that knows how to play drums help you final sound? Are you guys happy with your drums on your compositions? I played drums many years ago and find that my drums are the frist thing I lay down, then layer the other stuff on top of the drums. ----- Original Message ----- From: Antoine Deschênes To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 8:58 AM Subject: Re: [k5synth] Hello - I just joined Well, get a 2-synth rack!

I have a k5 on the way and I should get it this Friday. Anyway, I was debating about getting the synth - and my main gripe was that programing all that harmonic content is very hard. What made me pull the trigger was this group when I read up on Leslie Sanford's "Wave Maker" and that he was able to resynth both the k3 and the DW. I just can't explain how cool that is - thanks very much Leslie for doing this. If Kawai shipped software like this when they released the K5 Yamaha would have been in big trouble. I already loaded up your program (and all the other nasties you need to run it) and have been experimenting with some wave files. I can't wait to try loading things up when my K5 arrives. Just a bit more about me, my main axe is a K2000 and I recently got an Ion (which I just love). I love to program (the Kuzweil is work, the Ion is a dream - I fugure without software the K5 basically can't be programed.) So my setup has samples and VA covered in spades, but I hope to get some in-your-face digital harshness out of the K5 - I just don't have that in my set up right now. If anyone is interested, you can check out some of my stuff at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/highpantsguys.htm The last song uses a Kawai K1II (that was stolen shortly after this recording) I would love to resynth a K1 for the K5! Anyway, I use a PC and I am trying to get that Atari Dr. T editor up and running and am having problems. The Atari emulator works, but I don't know how to run the Dr. T files. That is, do I need to create a "disk image" or create an Atari drive that has the Dr. T files...if anyone is running Dr.T and can give me some tips on how to get the program started it would be much appreciated. -- Antoine Deschênes /aka -´¯`-¸-DragonMaster-¸-´¯`- http://thehotcom.deep-ice.com/ Files: http://www.angelfire.com/ca7/hotcomcenter/ Yahoo!
