Kawai K5000S Init Patch With Sawtooth Wave

Create an additive sawtooth wave on the Kawai K5000S, based on the simple sine wave init patch. The harmonic levels are calculated with a spreadsheet using a special top-secret formula that can now be yours! Just kidding; the K5000 newsgroup members figured it out in the late 1990s. Read the post on DigitalSynth.net and download the init patch to save you some editing trouble: https://digitalsynth.net/posts/2020/1... It's easy to create a spreadsheet using Numbers or Microsoft Excel that will give you levels for the 64 harmonics, derived from their amplitudes. You could also write a Python script or even use a programmable calculator from Casio, TI or Sharp as your sidekick. Basic synth waveforms are easy to create using additive synthesis, but they are just the starting point. With a control envelope for every harmonic, you can create patches with evolving timbres. #kawai #k5000 #k5000s #additive #synth #digital #midi #patch #sawtooth #numbers
