    Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text, video manuals etc. This video wasn't paid for directly but as a result of my work with Sonicware it is marked as Paid Promotion
    Time for a bit of cheeeeese! Is this new age music? Something like that.
    This is something I've been meaning to try for a while, the multi-timbral mode on my fairly recent accusation, the Kawai K4.
    I really wanted to make a Sonicware free jam because I've been using their a hell of a lot across the channel recently, but the SmplTrek just seemed like the perfect fit for sequencing the K4. It's multi mode can be set up with 8 different channels for instruments plus one for drums and the SmplTrek has 10 slots which can all be loaded with midi tracks for sequencing. The K4 has an effects section which allows different send amounts per instrument in multi mode so all the audio is coming from the K4 here, nothing is being produced or effected by the SmplTrek.
    All I'm using on the K4 are presets but even they are nice, it has a very nice tone for a synth that came out in 1989!
    I'm using an overlay on the SmplTrek kindly sent to me by cremacaffe.shop/

    Guessing you have the different timbres on different midi channels and sequenced by the ‘trek?

      That's right. The K4 is set up in multi mode with channel 1-8 for instruments and 10 for drums. I set tracks 1-10 on the SmplTrek to midi channel 1-10 so each can control different parts of the K4. I'm using the 'auto channel' on the SmplTrek for input with the K4's local control off so each time I move to a new track it plays the correct sound. It's pretty slick 👌

    Just right amount of cheese 👌 Also it seems the cheesiness is right when the aging is also in the right amount 😁 didn't liked the sounds of new age (with couple of exceptions) when my parents listened to it.

      Thank you. Yeah I don't like most new age music either but I just kind of stumbled into this territory by accident 😄
