If not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it can cause interference to radio communications. The rules with which it must comply afford reasonable protection against interference when used in most locations. However, there can be no guarantee that such interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or related equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try correct the interference by one or more of the following measures. — reorient the receiving antenna. — move the receiver away from the instrument. — plug the instrument into a different outlet so that it and receiver are on different branch circuits. — consult the dealer or a qualified service personnel. "This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications." "Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bluits radioeléctriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada." Introduction Care and Maintenance The Kawai K1 rll rack-mount digital synthesizer module offers 16-voice (max.) polyphonic output from Kawai's VM additive synthesis tone generator. Features ★ VM tone generator The K1rU built-in sound generator offers a selection of 256 basic waveforms using the two most advanced approaches to sound synthesis: 204 formed by the additive synthesis of the first 128 harmonics; 52 recorded with PCM sampling. You can freely mix up to four of these waveforms to produce an entirely new sound: a crisp digital sound, a rich analog sound, or any combination in between. ★ AM (Ring modulation) The addition of ring modulation expands the K1rD range to include overloaded sounds of the type that digital waves alone cannot reproduce. ★ Rich selection of tone patches The K1rII leaves the factory with 64 SINGLE patches and 32 MULTI patches already stored in its internal memory bank. The Klrll’s full editing capabilities and DC-8 memory cards (available as extra cost options) allow you to build up your own library of original sounds. ★ Separate drum section This track, which offers a selection of 32 percussion instruments, is completely separate from the eight multi-timbre patches. This independent rhythm section may be assigned its own MIDI channel which is not affected by the OMNI ON mode. ★ Superb touch response The K1rII module's touch response acts on two types of information from the external MIDI keyboard: velocity, the force with which you hit the key, and aftertouch, the pressure that you apply as you hold the key down. ★ Multi-tone patch LINKs The K1rII LINK function allows you to link up to eight tone patches — SINGLE or MULTI, INTERNAL or EXTERNAL —from the 192 available and then step through the series during a performance simply by pressing the LINK switches. ★ MULTI patches The Klrll's MULTI patches go far beyond the DUAL or SPLIT functions of other synthesizers in that they allow you to assign up to eight different SINGLE patches to different ranges on the keyboard and divide the key velocity as well. ★ Variable multi-timbre operation This function helps maximize the use of the Klrll's 16-voice polyphonic capabilities by automatically redistributing unused capacity from one section to another. ★ Full MIDI implementation Since each sound, source can be assigned a different MIDI channel, each K1 rll MULTI patch can simultaneously serve as up to eight (+DRUM) different MIDI sound sources. ★ Interchangeability of tone data with K1, K1 m, K1II and K1 r The K1 rll tone patches (SINGLE, MULTI) are compatible with those of other K1 series instruments, K1, K1m, Kin and K1r. Sound Cards and MIDI Exclusive Data can be exchanged between the K1rII and other K1 models. Computer software designed for the K1 can be used on the K1 rll. ★ Individual output The K1rII allows you to assign each selected SINGLE patch to one of the four discrete outputs (OUTPUTS 1 through 4). This enables different SINGLE patches within your MULTI patch can be routed to different channels of a mixing board for separate external signal processing (EQ, reverb, etc.). □ Proper Care Your K1rII synthesizer is a delicate musical instrument. To prevent breakdowns and ensure years of reliable, trouble-free service, shield it from: • Direct sunlight and exposure to the elements • Extremes in temperature or humidity • Dusty environments • Vibration — especially during transport □ Power Supply • Use only the AC adapter shipped with the K1rII and connect it only to a power supply with a voltage within the limits stated on the ratings plate on the back. • Make sure that all power switches are off before changing equipment connections. • Check all equipment connections before applying the po...
