From ddg@prosrv.ems.comThu Jun 15 18:38:42 1995 Date: Wed, 14 Jun 95 22:12:57 CST From: ddg@prosrv.ems.com To: map@cs.washington.edu Subject: Re: XD-5 editor, and JP-6 thanks. >hey, could you upload the XD5 FAQ and anything else you have to >hyperreal? or, alternatively, if they're available by FTP/WWW, just send >me a reference and i'll make sure it's pointed at.. Mike, I have very poor access to FTP upload (aol, my sad little WWW/FTP server only allows downloads!), so how about I just send it as an addon to this message, and you put it on hyperreal? BTW, it is more like an infosheet than FAQ, since few questions were asked, and few hints given... OK, here you go!

Kawai XD-5 FAQ/InfoList Maintained by Darwin Grosse (ddg@devlac.ems.com) Contributors: Contents: 1. General Information 2. User Tips/Techniques 3. Waveform List ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. General Information >From XD-5 Owner's Manual: "The XD-5 is a rack-mount digital percussion synthesizer equipped with a DMS (Digital Multi Spectrum) tone generator capable of up to 16 notes of polyphony when set at two Sources per tone." "The XD-5 utilizes a newly developed DMS tone generator. Not only does it use 16 bit system, but because it has a Digital Filter function, your freedom in producing sounds in unlimited. It is also capable of AM (Ring Modulation) to easily and simply produce clangorous and distorted sounds." o "256 high quality internal waveforms" "The XD-5 has 41 DC (Digital Cyclic) waveforms composed of as many as 128 harmonics, and a total of 215 PCM waveforms, for a total of 256 waveforms. Because the XD-5's internal waveforms are reproduced using 16-bit 44.1 kHz quantization, noise and distortion are virtually inaudible." o "INDIVIDUAL OUTPUT function" "The XD-5 is equipped not only with two stereo output jacks, but with six seperate output jacks as well to allow the connection of external effects units to create high quality sound." o "GATE MODE" "When you use the pad controller or drum machine which has no GATE parameter, you can play full cycle of envelope by using this mode." o "Card" "A card permits an increased number of tones to be placed in memory. One card can hold 64 SINGLE Patches, 16 KIT Patches and 16 OUTPUT Patches." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. User Tips/Techniques o Get a RAM card! One note, however - Kits located on the RAM card can only use singles located on the RAM card, and Kits in internal memory can only use singles in internal memory. Nasty limitation!

Corrections and notes were done when possible... NOTE: A BOB preface to any sample is Kawai's way of saying it's a Roland 808 sound.
