"The Kawai K3 is an amazing synth. Digital waveforms and analog filters and amps after that.
With its SSM2044 filters, analog chorus, both subtractive AND additive synthesis, this synth can do so much and it has a killer bottom end.
This new patch bank is a complete tone bank, that is 50 new patches (tones) for your K3/K3m. It's in a sysex format. I refer to the manual for how to load these into your synth.
I've included both the individual sysex patches as well as the complete bank. Patch names below.
These patches will NOT work on any other Kawai in the K-series. That includes the K1, K4 and K5000.
You can use the patches as you please, but you cannot sell them as your own, give them away or take credit for making them.
This is a demo performance by REON Muton applied to the rhythm. By patching an LFO to the delay feedback jack in the patch bay, you can create harmonics and other distortions in time with the rhythm. Rhythm is MIDI synchronized."
"A look at the Korg VC-10 from 1978, their first ever vocoder. It was part of the MS range and was used by Buggles, Tomita, Keith Emerson, Apollo 440, Klaus Schulze and many others.
Nerdy details as promised: The VC-10 is a 20 band vocoder with an onboard microphone (modulator) and internal tone generators (carriers)
Controls: Pitch wheel, tuning and an octave switch Keyboard to noise balance External signal (carrier) in with level Internal and external Mic level (modulator) Balance of vocoder signal and audio through External pitch control of the internal tone generators An LFO (vibrato) with speed and depth Accent bend (a kind of envelope mod on attack to emulate the human voice changing pitch) Ensemble Effect (same as the PS-3100)
I also used the MS-01 foot pedal and MS-02 interface from the same range as well as the Roland System 100m and Boss RPS-10 and CE-300 FX."
