WELCOME TO THE K5000W

The K5000W is an Advanced Additive Workstation that combines complete music composition/ performance capabilities into a single unit.

PERFORMANCE SOUND GENERATORS

ADVANCED ADDITIVE TONE GENERATOR

The K5000 series updates the famous K5 synthesizer tone generator and its unique additive harmonic synthesis approach. The ADD Tone Generator contains 32 source generators, which depending on how they are used, can yield up to 32 voice polyphony.

PCM samples can also be mixed with additive sources. As few as one or as many as six sources can be used to make a single sound. For example, a PCM wave of a piano hammer can be superimposed with the sound of the piano string created by additive harmonics.

PCM/GMTONEGENERATOR

In addition to the additive capabilities, the K5000W contains a second tone generator that utilizes traditional subtractive PCM synthesis techniques. This tone generator is also fully General MIDI compatible to ensure compatibility with other MIDI instruments. The PCM Tone Generator adds another 32 source generators, which can give an additional 32 voices of polyphony. This results in a maximum possible polyphony of 64 voices.

DIGITAL EFFECTS SYSTEM

The K5000W contains an advanced digital effects processor (DSP), which allows four individual effects of chorus, delay, distortion, etc., in addition to reverb and a graphic equalizer.

When playing a single sound, individual sources can be routed to individual effects; when playing multiple sounds in Compose mode, individual sounds can be routed to individual effects.

COMPOSING TOOLS

SEQUENCER

A 40-track MIDI sequencer can control 32 simultaneous timbres within the K5000W. The sequencer can also control multiple external MIDI devices at the same time, using its two MIDI outputs.

APG COMPOSING TOOL

The Auto Phrase Generator (APG) uses a track from the sequencer and creates a complete orchestration in any of over one hundred musical styles.

GENERAL MIDI

When the K5000W receives a General MIDI Initialize command, it automatically jumps into Compose Mode and configures itself as a General MIDI synthesizer. So whether you're playing your favorite songs, singing Karaoke, or cruising the World Wide Web, the K5000W is your willing musical accompanist.

Please consult your local Kawai representatives or contact with Kawai distributors in your country.

ABOUT THE KEYBOARD'S INTERNAL MEMORY

The contents of the keyboard's internal memory (such as tone data) and system data may be lost if you turn off the power while saving, loading or writing data.

Do not turn off the power while saving, loading or writing data.

If you lost system data, follow the procedure of the included SYSTEM DISK and load system data.

Internal song data may be lost when you load data from a disk. You may not be able to back up the internal memory. So, we recommend that you save your important data on a floppy disk.

ABOUT THE MEMORY EXPANSION KIT

MEMORY EXPANSION KIT may be available in your country. If you need it, please consult your local Kawai representatives or contact with Kawai distributors in your country.

GUIDED TOUR

The K5000W operates in two modes: Performance Mode for creating sounds, andCompose Mode for creating music. You can choose between them using the Mode buttons on the left side of the front panel.

Naturally, the first thing you ought to do with your K5000W is plug it in!

POWER

Using the cable provided, connect the POWER jack to a grounded AC outlet.

Power Specifications

North America: 110V-120V 50/60Hz

Europe/Asia/Australia: 220V-240V 50/60Hz

AUDIO

There are two pairs of audio output jacks on the back, plus the PHONES jack on the front (in front of the Pitch Bend wheel). This gives you a few choices, depending on what you're connecting to:

SOLOPLAY

Just plug your headphones into the PHONES jack on the front and go at it. There's plenty of power for phones. Use the MAIN volume slider to control the volume.

INSTRUMENT AMPLIFIER

If you are plugging into an amp, connect the MAIN L/MONO output jack on the rear panel to your amplifier. All sounds will be mixed to this single cable.

STEREO SYSTEM

To connect to a music system or amplified speakers, use the two MAIN outputs (L & R) to get stereo. You'll need adapters or adapting cable to convert the 1/4 ” Phone jacks on the K5000W to the RCA pin jacks on your stereo. Make sure to connect the K5000W to a LINE, AUX, or TAPE input on your stereo.

MIXING CONSOLE

If you've got more than two inputs available, by all means connect the two MAIN outputs and the two INDIVidual outputs to your mixer. In this way, you can route certain sounds (piano, ss'ongs, snare drum) through the reverb unit to the Main Outputs; and send others (bass drum, bass guitar) directly to the INDIVidual outputs without reverb, or for special studio processing.

When connections are made to the INDIVidual output jacks, the INDIVidual volume slider on the front panel becomes active. You can adjust each pair of outputs independently.

PEDALS

HOLD

Connect a Hold pedal to the HOLD jack on the rear panel. Use a Momentary On footswitch, like the Kawai model F-1. This acts like a piano-style damper pedal, sustaining after releasing keys.

EXPRESSION

You can connect a Volume pedal (Kawai model V-20X) to the Expression jack on the rear panel.

KAWAI K5000W - EXPRESSION - 1

MIDI

There are six MIDI ports on the rear panel of the K5000W: two pairs each of IN, OUT, and THRU jacks. You don't need to connect any of them to create a musical masterpiece - the K5000W has everything built in - but if you want to talk to your other MIDI gear, here's how to connect them:

ADDITIONAL SOUND MODULES

If you want to use the K5000W to control other sound modules, connect a cable from one of the K5000W's MIDI OUT jacks to the MIDI IN jack of the other device. If you have more than one device, you can connect one to each MIDI OUT jack or loop from the MIDI THRU of the first device to the MIDI IN of the second.

EXTERNAL KEYBOARD OR DRUM CONTROLLER

If you want to play the K5000W from another keyboard, MIDI drum or Guitar controller, connect it to one of the MIDI IN jacks.

You will need to set the K5000W's Unit Channel to match the input jack and the MIDI channel the device transmits on. Press SYSTEM, then MIDI (F5), then Unit CH (L2).

SLAVING A DRUM MACHINE OR ANOTHER SEQUENCER

Besides notes, a drum machine or sequencer also needs to communicate timing with the K5000W sequencer. The K5000W supports MIDI Beat Clocks, which transmit tempo as well as start and stop commands.

NOTE:

A drum machine or sequencer must be connected to the MIDI A jack, the MIDI B jack does not transmit MIDI clock information.

Now that everything is connected, lets see what the K5000W can do!

In the package with your K5000W is a demonstration diskette (supplement disk). Playing this will give a good picture of the K5000W's capabilities.

As the song plays, you will see the bars and beats ticking in the center of the screen.

At the bottom of the screen is information for each track. Press the Function keys (F1 - F8) to select a track, the color will reverse indicating it is selected. Once selected, you can turn the track off (mute) or on by pressing the function key again. You can turn tracks on and off while the song plays.

CHANGING SOUND PATCHES

As you select different tracks, the channel and program will be displayed on the screen (see the picture on the previous page.) You can temporarily change a track's sound patch by pressing the L3 button to the left of the screen and turning the Value dial.

ERASING A SONG FROM MEMORY

This is easy. Song memory is not maintained when power is off, so when the K5000W is turned off, all songs are erased.

Naturally, you'll want to learn how save your new song to disk before you turn off the power -- that's covered on the next page.

REAL TIME RECORDING

Lets start with a fresh song, and record a track.

FROM THE COMPOSE MODE MAIN SCREEN:

  • Press the REC button - it lights up, red.
  • Press the F1 key to put track 1 into record. The label above the F1 key should now indicate "1R".
  • Press the START button near the REC button - this starts the recording - the START key also lights up, green (both REC and START should be lit), and the Metronome bell starts counting time.
  • Play the keyboard.
  • When you have finished recording, press STOP.
  • To listen back, press RESET then PLAY.

SETTING A COUNT IN

Few people can press START with their left hand, and simultaneously start recording with their right, so let's give ourselves two bars to get ready to record.

FROM THE COMPOSE MODE MAIN SCREEN:

  • Press Setup (R4), then Count In (L1).
  • Turn the value dial, so that Count In shows 2.
  • Press the EXIT button to return to the main screen.

If you want to rerecord your first track, repeat the steps in the previous section – this time the bell will count off two bars before recording starts.

CHANGING THE TEMPO

You can change the tempo without changing the pitch of the notes - that's one of the big differences between recording MIDI and audio.

Press R1 to highlight the tempo setting, the use the Value dial to change it.

OVERDUBBING

Recording a new track in sync with the first track follows the same process as recording the original one.

FROM THE COMPOSE MODE MAIN SCREEN:

  • Press the REC button - it lights up, red.
  • Press the F2 key highlight track 2, then press it again to put it into record. The label above the F2 key should now indicate "2R". The label above track 1 (F1) should read "1P", indicating that track 1 will play - if not, press F1 several times until it does.
  • You might want to change to a different sound before recording. Make sure track 2 (F2) is selected, then press L3 and turn the Value dial to change programs. You can play the keyboard to audition the sound.
  • Press the START button near the REC button – this starts the recording – the START key also lights up, green (both REC and START should be lit), and the Metronome bell starts counting time. You should also hear track 1.

  • Play the keyboard

  • When you have finished recording, press STOP.
  • To listen back, press RESET then PLAY.

SAVING YOUR SONG TO DISK

The K5000W does not save Song data while turned off, so it is imperative to save your data to disk before turning off the unit.

The K5000W uses standard DOS format 2DD and 2HD diskettes, that can be read by Windows and MacOS computers.

PROCEDURE:

  • Press DISK, then Save (L1), then Song (R1). The following screen appears:

KAWAI K5000W - PROCEDURE: - 1

  • Name your song by using the arrows (F1 & F2) and the Value dial.
  • If you want to save your song as a Standard MIDI File instead of the K5000W's own file format, press Format (L1) and turn the value dial until the format is set to SMF.
  • Press Exec (F8). Sure? Press Yes (F8) to continue.
  • The song is saved to disk.

AUTO PHRASE GENERATOR (APG)

The Auto Phrase Generator, or APG, creates new musical parts based on a track recorded in the sequencer.

APG takes one of your recorded tracks, analyzes the chord changes, and then creates new parts based on your chord progression in the musical style of your choice. After calculating the new parts based upon your chords and the designated pattern, the APG copies those parts onto as many as eight tracks of your already existing song. You can then pick, choose and edit the parts just like tracks you recorded yourself.

CREATING A PHRASE

RECORD THE ORIGINAL TRACK

Use the sequencer to record a new track, just as before:

  • Press the REC button - it lights up, red.
  • Press the F1 key to put track 1 into record. The label above the F1 key should now indicate "1R".
  • Press the START button near the REC button – this starts the recording – the START key also lights up, green (both REC and START should be lit), and the Metronome bell starts counting time.
  • Play the keyboard.
  • When you have finished recording, press STOP.
  • To listen back, press RESET then PLAY.

ANALYZE THE TRACK

After our seed track is recorded, the next step is to analyze its chord structure.

  • Press the APG button. The APG Seed Setting screen appears.

The name of the patch is displayed, as well as parameters which are described below.

CHANGING SINGLE PATCHES

To select a different patch, use the Patch Select keys 0 through 9 on the right side of the panel. To change banks, use the Patch Select keys 00 through 12. The Bank menu screen appears as shown below.

KAWAI K5000W - CHANGING SINGLE PATCHES - 1

This screen lists the patches in the selected bank. To select one press the 0-9 key corresponding to the last digit of the patch number. A different patch will play, with the display as shown at the top of this section.

NOTE:

In Bank A, there is not a fixed number of patches. Instead there is a fixed amount of memory for the patches. If your patches are simple, more of them can be stored. As a result, all patch locations may not be available.

MODIFYING PATCHES

In Single Play mode, fourteen parameters are available for instant edit. Press one of the F keys as described below, then use the value dial to change the setting.

KAWAI K5000W - MODIFYING PATCHES - 1

NOTES:

These parameters add and subtract from the original values contained in the patch, and affect all sources.

B and GM Banks have only one page of parameters, as shown at the top of this section.

F1 H-LO (LOW HARMONICS) (FOR BANK A ONLY)

In a patch that uses the additive sound generator, this control adjusts the level of the lower harmonics. This does not adjust the low notes, rather it adjusts the low end of any note.

F2 H-HI (HIGH HARMONICS) (FOR BANK A ONLY)

In a patch that uses the additive sound generator, this control adjusts the level of the upper harmonics. This does not adjust the high notes, rather it adjusts the high end of any note.

F3 E/O (EVEN/ODD HARMONICS) (FOR BANK A ONLY)

In a patch that uses the additive sound generator, this control adjusts the balance of even versus odd harmonics. A positive value boosts the even harmonics and cuts the odd ones, a negative value cuts the even harmonics and boosts the odd ones.

F4 FFBS (FORMANT FILTER BIAS) (FOR BANK A ONLY)

In a patch that uses the additive sound generator, this control adjusts the Formant Filter Bias.

F5 FFSP (FORMANT FILTER SPEED) (FOR BANK A ONLY)

In a patch that uses the additive sound generator, this control adjusts the Formant Filter Speed.

F6 FFDP (FORMANT FILTER DEPTH) (FOR BANK A ONLY)

In a patch that uses the additive sound generator, this control adjusts the Formant Filter Depth.

KAWAI K5000W - F8 MORE - 1

L1 VOLUME

Sets the master volume for the program.

L2 POLY

Sets the polyphonic mode for the patch.

POLY Standard polyphonic mode

SOLO1 Monophonic mode. Each key played re-triggers the envelopes.

SOL02 Monophonic mode. Sustained keys played do not retrigger the envelopes.

R1 SOURCES

Sets the number of sources for the patch. Additive patches (A Bank) can have up to six sources, other banks are fixed at 2 sources. Remember that the more sources used in a patch, the fewer notes that can be played.

R2 AM

Selects sources for Amplitude Modulation. One source can be set to modulate an adjacent source, i.e., 1 > 2 .

F1 BACK

Goes back to the previous Common page, above.

Pressing DCO in the Single Edit menu brings up the following screen which contains the DCO parameters.

KAWAI K5000W - F1 BACK - 1

LI WAVETYPE

WAVE TYPE - Selects the wave type for the source: ADD for the additive synthesizer, PCM for sample waves.

L2 PCM WAVE NUMBER

Selects the PCM wave to be used. See page 160 for a list of waves.

NOTE:

This has no effect if ADD is the selected wave type.

L4 FINE

The fine frequency setting. Use this for detuning the wave to create beating or fullness.

RI KS PITCH

When the Fixed Key is being used (not Off, below) this parameter adds the key value to control the pitch. This can be used to play in quarter-tones, or to add "stretch" to the tuning. The reference point is the Fixed Key value.

KAWAI K5000W - RI KS PITCH - 1

R2 FIXED KEY

Sets the fixed pitch for the source. The range is A-1 to C7. If Off, then normal key tracking applies.

F8 MORE

Goes to the DCO Pitch En velope page, below.

The DCO Pitch envelope changes the pitch of the sound over time. Many acoustic instruments have small pitch changes during their initial attack - pulling guitar strings and embouchure in wind instruments - which can be simulated using the DCO Pitch Envelope.

Because of its function during the attack phase of the sound, the DCO Pitch Envelope has only attack and decay functions - it does not sustain.

KAWAI K5000W - F8 MORE - 1

LI STRTL (STARTING LEVEL)

Sets the starting level for the envelope.

L2 ATAKT (ATTACK TIME)

When a note is played (note on), the envelope will go from the starting level to the Attack Level in this amount of time.

L3 ATAK L (ATTACK LEVEL)

Sets the level after the initial attack.

L4 DECYT (DECAYTIME)

After reaching the attack level, the envelope will then go to zero in this amount of time.

RI LEVEL (VELOCITY TO LEVEL)

This controls how much the key velocity affects the amount of pitch envelope.

R2 TIME (VELOCITY TO TIME)

This controls how much the key velocity affects the overall time of pitch envelope.

Pressing DCF in the Single Edit menu brings up the following screen which contains the DCF parameters.

KAWAI K5000W - R2 TIME (VELOCITY TO TIME) - 1

LI DCF This turns on the DCF. If Active, the signal is routed through the DCF. If set to Bypass, the sound does not pass through the DCF.
L2 CUTOFF Sets the basic filter cutoff frequency.
L3 MODE Sets the type of filter. The choices are: Lo Pass Low Pass Filter - Cuts off the high frequencies (lets the low frequencies pass thru) HiPass High Pass Filter - Cuts off the low frequencies (lets the high frequencies pass thru)
L4 VELO CURVE Selects a velocity response curve. Works with Velo to Cut to tailor how the filter cutoff is affected by the key velocity.
RI RESONANCE Sets the amount of filter resonance. The higher the setting, the more nasal the sound.
R2 DCF LEVEL Adjusts the input level to the filter.
R3 KS TO CUT Controls how much the Key Scale affects the filter cutoff frequency.
R4 VELOCITY TO CUT Controls how much the Velocity affects the filter cutoff frequency.
F8 MORE Goes to the DCF En velope page, below.

KAWAI K5000W - R2 TIME (VELOCITY TO TIME) - 2

KAWAI K5000W - R2 TIME (VELOCITY TO TIME) - 3

LI DEPTH

Scales the strength of the entire envelope.

L2 ATAKT (ATTACK TIME)

When a note is played (note on), the envelope will go from zero to maximum in this amount of time. A short attack time gives a sharp edge to the start of the sound like a piano. A long attack gives a more legato effect.

The sustain level. After Attack, Decay1, and Decay2, if a note is still held on it will sustain at this level.

R3 RELST (RELEASE TIME)

When a note is released (goes off) the envelope will return to zero in this amount of time.

F8 MORE

Goes to the next page of parameters, which modulate the envelope.

KAWAI K5000W - F8 MORE - 1

LI KS TO ATTACK

Adds Key Scale to control the Attack time.

L2 KSTODCYI

Adds Key Scale to control the Decay 1 time.

RI VELO TO ENV

Adds Velocity to control the overall envelope level. The more velocity, the more the filter will open.

R2 VELO TO ATK

Adds Velocity to control the Attack time.

R3 VELO TO DCYI

Adds Velocity to contr of the Decay 1 time.

The Digitally Controlled Amplifier (DCA) sets the volume of the sound. It is controlled by an envelope to shape a sounds overall transient characteristics.

L3 DECAYI TIME

After reaching the maximum, the envelope will go to the decay level in this amount of time.

L4 DECAYI LEVEL

After reaching the maximum, the envelope will go to this level.

RI DECAY2 TIME

After reaching the decay1 level, the envelope will go to the decay2 level in this amount of time.

R2 DECAY2 LEVEL

The sustain level. After Attack, Decay1, and Decay2, if a note is still held on it will sustain at this level.

R3 RELEASE TIME

When a note is released (goes off) the envelope will return to zero in this amount of time.

F8 MORE

Goes to the DCA Modulation page, below.

This page offers parameters to modify the DCA envelope by key scale (which note is played) or velocity (how hard a key is played). Careful use of these parameters can add life and expression to any sound.

KAWAI K5000W - F8 MORE - 1

MODULATION BY KEY SCALE:

LI ENVELOPE LEVEL

Uses key scale to control the maximum amount of the envelope. With a positive value, a higher key will have more envelope dynamics and a lower key will have less dynamics.

L2 ATTACK TIME

Uses key scale to control the attack time. With a positive value, a higher key will have a longer attack time and a lower key will have a shorter attack time.

In nature, lower instruments (baritone sax, for example) have longer attack time than higher instruments (alto sax). Using negative amounts of this parameter will simulate this.

L3 DECAYI TIME

Uses key scale to control the decay1 time. With a positive value, a higher key will have a longer decay time and a lower key will have a shorter time.

L4 RELEESETIME

Uses key scale to control the decay1 time. With a positive value, a higher key will have a longer release time and a lower key will have a shorter time.

MODULATION BY VELOCITY:

RI ENVELOPE LEVEL

Uses velocity to control the maximum amount of the envelope. With a positive value, a harder (louder) key will have more envelope dynamics and a softer key will have less dynamics.

R2 ATTACK TIME

Uses velocity to control the attack time. With a positive value, a harder (louder) key will have a longer attack time and a softer key will have a shorter attack time.

In nature, softer notes generally have a longer attack time than louder notes. Using negative amounts of this parameter will simulate this.

R3 DECAYI TIME

Uses velocity to control the decay time. With a positive value, a harder (louder) key will have a longer decay time and a softer key will have a shorter time.

R4 RELEESETIME

Uses attack velocity to control the release time. With a positive value, a faster key release will have a longer release time and a slower release will have a shorter time. Again, negative values of this parameter are more natural.

This section presents the editing parameters for Kawai's ADD harmonic synthesizer. These parameters are only available when editing additive sources in A Bank patches. If you try to edit a PCM wave in an A Bank patch, the following message appears:

KAWAI K5000W - R4 RELEESETIME - 1

R1 MORF

Goes to the Morfing page, which is a harmonics programming assistant.

NORMAL VS MORF

There are two programming modes, Normal and Morf. Any additive source uses one or the other. The main difference is in how the Harmonic Envelopes are utilized. For this reason, if you change to Morf mode (by executing a morf), the DHE parameters are replaced by new Morf settings. Other sections are not affected.

R3 FORMANT LEVEL

Goes to the DFL page, where the formant filter can be adjusted.

R4 FORMANT ENVELOPE

In the K5000W, each source can use a harmonic bank of 64 harmonics. This parameter selects whether the first 64 harmonics (1 - 64, starting at the fundamental) or harmonics 65 - 128 are used.

By itself, the Hi harmonics group has a tonality similar to metallic percussion instruments.

R1 VELOCITY CURVE

12 velocity curves are available to adjust the response of the harmonic envelope to the touch of your playing. This curve is used for all sections of the patch. Curve #5 (below) equals an exact 1:1 correlation, the other curves weight the response in different directions.

The K5000's Formant Filter is a 128-band graphic equalizer, which can be used to create additional additive effects.

KAWAI K5000W - FORMANT FILTER LEVEL (DFL) - 1

CENTER FREQUENCY OF 128 BAND FORMANT FILTER (BIAS=0)

Band 70=440Hz. If the BIAS is set to +12, Band 70=220Hz. If the BIAS is set to -12, Band 70=880Hz. The Formant Filter Envelope value works the same as the BIAS. If the Formant Filter Env. is set to a minus value, the filter moves to the right.

R3 PAN TYPE

This sets the type of panning.

NRM (Normal) is a standard left to right pan, controlled by the Pan Value, below.

RND (Random) changes the panning randomly for each note played. This gives a feeling of an "ensemble of players" when used for a string patch, for example.

KS & -KS (Key Scale and Negative Key Scale) changes the panning depending upon the key played. KS pans from left to right, -KS pan from right to left. Using KS will simulate the natural panning of strings inside a piano.

R4 PAN VALUE

Places the sound left to right in the stereo field.

KAWAI K5000W - R4 PAN VALUE - 1

This screen has parameters for key and velocity range. Using these parameters, a sound can be limited to play in only a certain range of the keyboard, or only when a key is played hard or soft. By creating several sources, for example, one that plays on soft notes only and another that plays on hard notes only, a sound can be created with more lifelike variation.

L1 ZONELO

Sets the lowest note that will be played. The keyboard graphic visually shows the range.

L2 ZONE HI

Sets the highest note that will be played.

KAWAI K5000W - L2 KIT EFFECT - 1

NOTE:

These effects are not used when a kit in combined into a Combi or used inCompose mode - the effects settings in the Combi or Song is used instead. When the K5000W is used in General MIDI mode, the GM preset is used.

This page routes the percussion instruments to individual keys, to create a kit of drums.

KAWAI K5000W - NOTE: - 1

There are a total of 285 percussion instruments, 253 preset and 32 user-programmable (U1 - U32). These instruments are arranged by note to create a kit. Each kit can have a total of 64 instruments, assigned from C#0 (25) to E5 (88).

L1 NOTE NUMBER

This parameter responds to keyboard or MIDI) control of the Note Number. A dot on the keyboard in the display moves to show the key played. You can also turn the Value dial to select notes.

L2 INSTRUMENT NUMBER

As you change notes, the Instrument Number changes to show which instrument is assigned to the note. You can change the assigned instrument by turning the Value dial.

R1 INSTRUMENT EDIT

KAWAI K5000W - R1 INSTRUMENT EDIT - 1

The following menus appear by pressing the buttons L1 - L4.

L1 COMMON

KAWAI K5000W - L1 COMMON - 1

L2 EFFECT PATH

The instrument is routed to one of the four Effects inputs by this parameter. For more information, see the Effects section page 79.

L3 EXCL GROUP

Instruments grouped together so that only one of them will play at any one time. For example, if Open and Closed Hi Hat sounds are grouped together, then playing a closed hi-hat sound will cutoff the open sound. There are seven exclusive groups, numbers 1 - 7; when OFF, no group is assigned.

L4 GATE

Sets the response to Note On and Note Off for the instrument. The gate time can be set to a short or longer duration (1 - 32), or can stay on until the note is released (Note Off).

Percussion instruments generally do not have a deliberate end to each note - each percussion note is caused by the instantaneous attack of a stick on a head, a hammer on a string. There is no sustain, only decay.

For other instrument families, there is a deliberate start and end to each note played – the Note On and Note Off. The sax player starts blowing to begin a note and stops blowing to end it. It can sustain as long as the player can blow.

L2 CONTROL & DCO

This page has parameters to control the volume, wave, and pitch of the sound.

KAWAI K5000W - L2 CONTROL & DCO - 1

CONTROL PARAMETERS:

L1 VOLUME

This sets the volume of the selected instrument. Use this parameter to adjust the relative mix of the instruments in the kit.

L2 PAN

Sets the Pan from left to right.

L3 COARSE

Sets the coarse pitch of the sound, in semitones. 0 is the original sample pitch.

L4 FINE

Fine tuning of the sound, 0 is the original sample pitch.

DCO PARAMETERS:

R1 PCM WAVE NUMBER

Selects the PCM wave to be used. See page 162 for a list of waves.

R2 ENVELOPE START LEVEL

Most percussion instruments have some pitch change during the note attack, the DCO envelope can be used to create, accentuate, or minimize this.

Sets the starting level for the envelope. A positive number means the sound will start at a higher pitch, then come down to 0 (the Coarse pitch), A negative number means the sound will start low and come up to 0.

R3 ENVELOPE ATTACK TIME

When a note is played (note on), the envelope will go from the Start level to 0 in this amount of time.

R4 VELOCITY TO ENVELOPE LEVEL

This controls how much the key velocity affects the amount of DCO envelope.

L3 DCF

Pressing DCF in the Inst Edit menu brings up the following screen which contains the DCF parameters.

KAWAI K5000W - L3 DCF - 1

L1 CUTOFF

Sets the basic filter cutoff frequency.

L2 VELOCITY TO CUTOFF

Controls how much the Velocity affects the filter cutoff frequency.

L4 DCA

The Digitally Controlled Amplifier (DCA) sets the volume of the sound. It is controlled by an envelope to shape a sound's overall transient characteristics.

The DCA envelope screen shows a visual representation of the envelope.

KAWAI K5000W - L4 DCA - 1

L1 ATTACK TIME

When a note is played (note on), the envelope will go from zero to maximum in this amount of time. A short attack time gives a sharp edge to the start of the sound like a piano. A long attack give a more legato effect.

L2 DECAY TIME

After reaching the maximum, the envelope will then go to the decay level in this amount of time.

L3 DECAY LEVEL

After reaching the maximum, the envelope will then go to this level.

L4 RELEASE TIME

When a note is released (gate off) the envelope will return to zero in this amount of time.

MODULATION BY VELOCITY:

R1 ENVELOPE LEVEL

Uses velocity to control the maximum amount of the envelope. A harder (louder) key will have more envelope dynamics and a softer key will have less dynamics.

B2 ATTACK TIME

Uses velocity to control the attack time. With a positive value, a harder (louder) key will have a longer attack time and a softer key will have a shorter attack time.

In nature, softer notes generally have a longer attack time than louder notes. Using negative amounts of this parameter will simulate this.

B3 DECAY TIME

Uses velocity to control the decay time. With a positive value, a harder (louder) key will have a longer decay time and a softer key will have a shorter time:

Anatomy of an Effect Algorithm

KAWAI K5000W - Anatomy of an Effect Algorithm - 1

The Value dial (R1) selects the effect algorithm to be used. There are four different algorithms available, and the arrangement of the effects blocks varies depending upon the algorithm chosen.

There are four input channels into the effects algorithms. In Single mode, the left of the block diagram shows the Source Assignment Grid, with controls routing of each source to the input channels. In Combi ot Compose mode, the assignment of each single section to the four input channels is controlled by the Effect Path function in the Section menu.

ALGORITHM I

KAWAI K5000W - ALGORITHM I - 1

Input 1 passes through all four effects blocks, on its way to the reverb, EQ and main outputs. It merges with input 3 after the second effects block.

Input 2 goes directly to the reverb block, EQ, and main outputs. It has its own wet/ dry mix in the reverb block.

Input 3 passes through two of the four effects blocks, on its way to the reverb, EQ and main outputs.

Input 4 goes directly to the Individual outputs without any effect, reverb or EQ. This is useful for sending sounds directly out of the K5000W for external signal processing.

KAWAI K5000W - ALGORITHM I - 2

In this algorithm, each input goes through its own effects block, then the four are paired together for reverb and EQ.

ALGORITHM 3

KAWAI K5000W - ALGORITHM 3 - 1

In this algorithm, each input goes through its own effects block, then 1, 2, and 3 are combined for reverb and EQ.

Input 3 has its own wet/dry mix in the reverb block.

After passing through its effect, Input 4 goes directly to the Individual outputs. This could be useful for a Bass sound running through a phaser, but without reverb.

ALGORITHM 4

KAWAI K5000W - ALGORITHM 4 - 1

Input 1 passes through the E1 and E2 effects blocks, on its way to the reverb, EQ and main outputs. It merges with input 2 after the second effects block.

Input 2 goes directly to the reverb block, EQ, and main outputs.

Input 3 passes through E3 and E4 of the four effects blocks, on its way to the reverb, EQ and main outputs. It has its own wet/dry mix in the reverb block.

Input 4 goes directly to the Individual outputs without any effect, reverb or EQ.

KAWAI K5000W - ALGORITHM 4 - 2

The four effects blocks represent individual effects. Any of the effects blocks can be assigned one of 36 different effects, which include a variety of delays, chorus, flanging, and distortion. The available controls vary from one effect to another.

COMPOSE MODE

Compose Mode is for creating music using the sonic timbres of the K5000W.

The K5000W Sequencer reads and writes Standard MIDI Files (SMF), so it is compatible with Standard MIDI Files found on diskette in music stores or on The Internet. Since most music sequencers read MIDI files on PC-format diskettes (even Macs!), most other computer music enthusiasts, whether professional or amateur, can play the music composed on your K5000W.

There are two main functions within Compose Mode: Recording and Editing. These functions are discussed in detail on the following pages.

The Recording Section is where music is recorded and played back. Each song is made up of 40 independent tracks, which can contain up to 40,000 notes.

The parameters on the screen control the settings for each track, while the Sequencer buttons on the front panel are the sequencer's "transport" and control the movement of the tracks: play, stop, record, etc.

KAWAI K5000W - COMPOSE MODE - 1

KAWAI K5000W - COMPOSE MODE - 2

There are two recording methods available in the K5000W: Real Time and Step Time. In Real Time recording, notes are recorded into the sequencer with the timing as they are played on the keyboard. In Step Time recording the timing of the notes played is disregarded, and the timing is assigned according to the settings on the Step Time recording page.

REAL TIME RECORD

Real time recording takes place on the track(s) selected for record. To record a track:

  1. Press the REC button. The button lights up.
  2. In the display, use the F1 - F8 keys to select the desired tracks for recording. Press once to select the track, then again to add the "R" next to the track number, indicating the track is enabled for recording. See the diagram at the top of this section.
  3. Press PLAY. Both the REC and PLAY buttons will be lit, the metronome will start counting, and recording will start.
  4. Press STOP to terminate the recording.
  5. To play back the recording, press RESET to rewind to the beginning, then PLAY to playback.

NOTE: There are 40 tracks in one song. Each track can record on only one channel, but more than one track can record at the same time.

If this is ON, the K5000W will loop between the Punch In and Out points in Record. This means each repetition adds to what was recorded, it does not replace the previous recording.

RI START

Sets the starting bar for playback. This can be the same or earlier than the Punch In point. If earlier, it gives a preroll before recording starts.

R2 PUNCH IN

When Loop is ON, the Song will repeat starting at this bar.

NOTE:

If the Start Point is set earlier then the Punch In Point, the song will Play from the Start Point then start Recording at the Punch In point. If Loop is ON, the recording will loop back to the Punch In point, not the Start.

R3 PUNCH OUT

When Loop is OFF, the track will Punch Out of record at the completion of this bar. When Loop is ON, the track will jump back to the Punch In point and continue recording.

This section contains edit functions that modify an entire measure or measures. There are three pages of functions: Press More (F8) or Back (F1) to change pages.

APG takes one of your recorded tracks, strips out the chord changes, and then imposes those chords on a preexisting pattern of rhythm and accompaniment. The result: a lively band playing your song!

After calculating the new parts based upon your chords and the designated pattern, the APG copies those parts onto as many as eight tracks of your already existing song. You can then pick, choose and edit the parts just like tracks you recorded yourself.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO

Well, the APG can't think for you. It can't tell which notes you intended to play and which were mistakes. It can't figure out what chord you're playing if you don't play the root until halfway through the bar!

Think of APG as a top-forty band that you just met on stage. You hand them a chord chart and ask them to play in the style of Hootie and The Blowfish, while you sing your new song in front. The result? A little loose, a little ragged, but you'll all get to the end of the tune together. And with a couple of rehearsals...

STRATEGIES FOR BEST RESULTS

Keep your playing simple. Thin out the passing chords, the trills and little flourishes, the APG adds its own. Make it easy, as if you were teaching the song to someone.

PLANTING THE SEED TRACK

First select the track to be used as the chord source - the Seed Track. You can use the entire track or a section.

KAWAI K5000W - PLANTING THE SEED TRACK - 1

LI START BAR

Sets the starting bar of the Seed Track.

L2 LENGTH

Sets the number of bars of the Seed Track that will be analyzed.

RI SEEDTRACK

Selects which track in the current song will be used as a chord base.

F7 ANALYZE

Extracts the chords from selected seed track. This process takes a minute.

TRACK SELECTION

This screen assigns each part to a track in the Song.

KAWAI K5000W - TRACK SELECTION - 1

Select the Track with the L and R buttons, then use the Value dial to change the channel. A “-” will appear in the display if the selected channel already contains data – you might want to select another track in this case.

You can turn the track off by pressing the button again. The display will read Off, and a phrase will not be generated for this track.

STYLE SELECTION

This is where the fun begins. This screen contains the style templates. There are 107 templates, including two that loaded from disk. The styles are listed on the next page. In addition, each style has six variations and six fill patterns.

APG DATA CONVERT (FLOPPY DISK OPERATIONS)

The phrase (style) conversion function is a unique feature which enable the K5000W to play the phrase (style) data made not only for Kawai's other instruments, but for many other manufacturers' keyboards as well.. The Style Convert Software was developed for the personal computers by EMC Software company, which has been the recent leader in this type of technology. In collaboration with EMC, Kawai has made it possible to run this software on the K5000W. When the Phrase Convert Software is installed, the K5000W becomes capable of reading many phrase data disks currently available on the market and converting them into Kawai's data format without losing musical quality. The converted phrase data may be edited and stored as the K5000W's own phrase data. With this feature, you can expand your library of phrase data. Please read the instruction sheet that comes with the Phrase Convert Software disk for information on the format that works on the K5000W.

When the K5000W receives a General MIDI On message, it jumps into Composed mode and configures itself for General MIDI playback.

WHAT IS GENERAL MIDI

General MIDI is a multi-platform standard for musical instrumentation. The sonic counterpart to Standard MIDI Files for sequencers, it specifies that specific instruments are available at specific program numbers. This way, you can compose music using a Grand Piano, a Muted Guitar, and a Picked Bass; and be sure that the listener will hear a piano where you intended – instead of a flute.

ADVANTAGES OF GENERAL MIDI

Since MIDI sequence files (SMF) are very small (50K is an average size, one second of CD-quality audio is several times bigger), they are easily transportable – as many as 30 fit on a single floppy disk – so they can be enclosed in an e-mail message or used as background music on a web site or a CD-ROM.

This is because the MIDI sound module is doing all the "work", creating an audio experience from the recorded performance. Although there are many models of General MIDI sound modules available, they all adhere to the General MIDI standard of compatibility. Naturally they all sound slightly different - just as different bass players will sound different - but each General MIDI device sounds similar.

DISADVANTAGES

There are two main disadvantages:

1) All General MIDI devices do sound slightly different, and one of the biggest differences is in the subtle balances between instruments in a mix.
2) Since the available instruments are fixed, you cannot use original sounds - especially the very original sounds in the K5000W's A Bank.

These settings are used whenever General MIDI mode is initialized. They can be changed, but will be reset the next time General MIDI mode is initialized.

The following MIDI messages can be sent from this page. Messages are sent on the MIDI System Channel, set in the System MIDI page. The MIDI System Channel is shown at the top of the screen.

KAWAI K5000W - DISADVANTAGES - 6

LI VOLUME

Sends a Volume message using Continuous Controller #7.

L2 PAN

Sends a Pan message using Continuous Controller #10.

L3 CONTROL NUMBER

There are 128 Continuous Controller channels in MIDI. Some, like the Volume, Pan, Sustain Pedal, and Bank Select messages are commonly used by all instruments. Other controllers are more specific and are used for everything from synthesizer parameters to automated mixing to controlling stage lights or even a VCR.

This parameter selects one of the Continuous Controller channels for control (0 to 127).

L4 CONTROLVALUE

This sets the value of the message sent to the Continuous Controller channel selected above.

RI PROGRAM

Sends a Program Change message, which tells a remote instrument to change to a different sound patch. There are 128 Programs available, numbered from 0 through 127.

R2 BANK

Most recently made instruments contain more than 128 patch programs in memory. MIDI gets around this limitation by dividing the available sound programs into several banks of programs. Use the Bank and Bank System messages to specify which bank to switch to. Within an individual bank, the Program Change message can be used to select individual programs.

R3 BANK SYSTEM

The Bank System parameter selects the type of bank select message to send.

NORMAL

Normal - the bank message is sent by itself

1 (MSB)

MSB - the bank message is sent with an MSB indication.

2(LSB)

LSB - the bank message is sent with an LSB indication.

F8 SEND

This transmits Bank and program change messages.

COMMON

In the Common area of the front panel, to the left of the LCD, contains controls for parameters that concern the entire instrument.

The System pages offer preference settings, that control the general behavior of the K5000W.

The five Function keys (F3 - F7) jump between the four sections of the System parameters
