| Everybody's probably said this by now, but... this question would get
better responses in NOVA::COMMUSIC.
I own a Kawai K-1m. It uses LA (Linear Additive) synthesis, as opposed
to the FB-01 which uses FM. The Kawai is very good at 'expressive,
breathy' sounds, like the 'breathy flutes' you seem to hear
everywhere. It's very similar to the Roland D-10. The patch system is
fairly complex, but it's like this: you get 8-note polyphony with
'complex' sounds, or 16-note polyphony with 'simple' sounds. I'll enter
more later from home where I have the docs...

| Hi Kev,
Re the Mt-32, waddya wanna know ? I have one and find that there
are some very useable sounds in it (128 in all + Drums/Percussion).
I can't really remember all the great ones by heart, but if you
want to give me your DTN/VAXMAIL node then I'll be glad to fill
you in and send you a copy of the specs/blurb.
I hook mine up to my Korg M1 as an expander to get sounds such as
Orchestra Hit... it also has a nice swelly strings sound that I
use a lot.
It is non-frontpanel-programmable, but I do believe there is a PD
(?) Editor for it as well so perhaps that is also of interest.
I'm at Viables (basingstoke) on 7833 3002 so give me a call if you
like. I'm always willing to talk music 8^)
Hope this is of use,
Jonathan

| 563.4 | check out COMMUSIC, really | NORGE::CHAD | Ich glaube Ich t�te Ich h�tte | Wed Aug 09 1989 10:07 | 12 |
| Actually the Kawai is no real LA (linear arithmetic, not linear additive) but
works along similar ideas.
I'd get a D-110. Its a cleaner MT32 and can be had used in the states as
low as $550 or so or even lower (I've seen them at $675 or lower new). It
has a front panel, is rack mountable, cleaner, etc.
The FB01 sounds dated in my opinion. It sounds thin and EF-EMMY (FMy?).
Check out NOVA::COMMUSIC and do a dir/title="K1", "110", and "FB"

| 563.5 | Mt32 PD Editor? | CALYPS::SHARPE | | Mon Sep 04 1989 14:11 | 5 |
| I have an MT32 and was interested in hearing that there is a PD editor
for it. DO you know where I can get my hands on it? Thanks in
advance.
