Page 2: Introduction
Advanced Features section covers the Effects, Arpeggiators, Synchronization, Triggering and the Utilities, and will provide all of the information needed to operate the KS Rack in the most creative, productive way. Have fun ! -
Page 3: Quick Start Guide
Make sure that the input volume setting on the system amplifier or mixer is initially set to zero. On leaving the factory, the KS Rack is set to receive MIDI information on Channel 1, so, if using an external master keyboard or sequencer to trig- ger the sounds, ensure that it is set to transmit on this MIDI channel. -
Page 4: Selecting Performances
PERFORMANCE 100 Part 4 Up to 100 Performances may be saved in the KS Rack. The first 2 are shown in the above illustration - Number 100 and 101. Held in the Performance are up to 4 part ‘slots’. These may have any one of the 400 single Programs selected for each one. -
Page 5: Editing A Sound
The most useful editing controls on the KS Rack are found on the front panel and some of these will be now be used to modify (edit) this basic program. -
Page 6: Saving A Sound
Saving a sound Saving a sound Single sounds (standard Programs or Drum Map Programs) may be saved in any memory location from 100 to 849. It is recommended that the user locations are used early on for saving new sound creations. These are Banks 3 & 4 (locations 300 to 499) for standard Programs or Banks 7 &... -
Page 7: Editing A Performance
QUICK START GUIDE Editing a Performance Performance Mode is equivalent to using four KS Rack machines, each playing in Program Mode. Performance Mode enables the machine to be used multi-timbrally. Up to four different Parts (slots that contain pro- grams) can be used and played simultaneously. Performances can be configured in a number of different, interesting ways. -
Page 8: Saving A Performance
Performance’s four Parts back to an ordinary Program bank memory location from 100 to 849. One of the outstanding features of the KS Rack is that a complete new set of programs are held in each part in performance mode IN ADDITION TO THOSE HELD IN THE SINGLE PROGRAM MEMORIES 100 - 849. -
Page 9: Synthesis Tutorial
Volume Having shown that just three elements make up any sound, these ele- ments now have to be related to a Musical synthesizer. It is logical that a different section of the Synthesizer ‘Synthesizes’ (or creates) these differ- ent elements. -
Page 10: Oscillators And Waveforms
‘high’ for 50% of the waveform cycle and ‘low’ for the remaining 50% of the waveform cycle. On the KS Rack it is possible to adjust the duty cycle of the basic square waveform to produce a waveform which is more ‘rectangular’ in shape. -
Page 11: The Mixer
OSC1, 2 & 3 OSC1, 2 AND 3 The Filter The KS Rack is an Analogue subtractive type of music synthesizer. Subtractive implies that part of the sound is subtracted somewhere in the synthesis process. The Oscillators provide the raw waveforms with plenty of harmonic con- tent and it is the Filter that subtracts unwanted harmonics in a controllable manner. -
Page 12: Envelopes And Amplifier
On an Analogue synthesizer, changes which occur throughout the dura- tion of a note are controlled by a section known as an Envelope Generator. The KS Rack has two Envelope Generators. The circuit of one of these is always connected to an Amplifier, which controls the Volume of the sound when a note is played. -
Page 13: Lfos
Additional envelopes can be used to dynamically alter other sections of the synthesizer during the lifetime of each note. The KS Rack has a second Envelope Generator which may be applied in various interesting ways. For example, it may typically be used to modify the filter cut off frequency or change an oscillators pitch during the lifetime of a note. -
Page 14: Memories
! If not reconnected in exactly the same way, the sound would be lost forever. Modern machines such as the KS Rack have all the blocks in one com- pact unit and the sound generating or modifying blocks are arranged in a sensible fashion. -
Page 15: Midi Tutorial
(these are simply keyboards with no synthesizer attached), drum percussion pads or footswitch controllers. MIDI messages The KS Rack is capable of transmitting and responding to various types of MIDI events. These are as follows : NOTE MESSAGES A note message is transmitted every time a key on a keyboard is pressed down or released. -
Page 16: Midi Messages
The MIDI specification defines two different types of aftertouch message; mono and poly. The type recognised by the KS Rack is mono. Poly after- touch includes information in the MIDI message about which keyboard note was used to trigger the aftertouch effect. Poly aftertouch is very rarely used and only a very few synthesizers ever implemented the sys- tem. -
Page 17: Midi And Sequencers
This means that if a track is selected on a sequencer which uses MIDI channel 2, and the sequencer then receives some MIDI information from a KS Rack sent on MIDI channel 1, it will be re-transmitted by the sequencer not on MIDI channel 1, but MIDI channel 2. This would be... -

Page 19: Modes And Menus
MAIN FEATURES AND OPERATION Modes and Menus As described in the Quick Start Guide, in Program Mode, the machine operates in a mono-timbral (just one sound available) mode and responds to, and sends information on just one MIDI channel. This mode should be used when only one sound is required for playing, or when individual sounds are to be auditioned. -
Page 20: Filter Frequency
Modes and Menus Making an Edit with the front panel Controls in Program Mode If any of the front panel controls are adjusted, the display will show the new value of the appropriate control. If for example, the Filter FREQUENCY knob was adjusted to 100, the display would show : Filter frequency 127 The number on the bottom line is the current value of the Filter... - Page 21 MAIN FEATURES AND OPERATION Exporting the edited program out of the performance Pressing the write button when the cursor is under the program number will just save the program number to a desired located. The saving prod- cedure is detailed on page 8 of the quick start guide section. This provides a convenient method to EXPORT edited programs out of a performance back to a single program memory location.

Mod Env Attack and Decay times. Obtaining a classic Square / PWM sound The PWM sound is one of the classsic analogue synthesizer sounds. Select one of the factory initialisation sounds ( 311 - 499) All of these ini- tial sounds use only use Oscillator 1 as the source waveform. -
Page 23: Mixer Section
Modulator. Ring Modulation is useful for creating harder Metallic tones. With the EXT position selected, it controls the volume of an external audio signal connected to the INPUT socket on the KS Rack’s rear panel. This signal can be processed by the filter, envelopes and effects. An external audio signal may be a microphone, CD player, guitar etc. -
Page 24: Filter Section
Filter Section Filter Section The Filter can be used as a Low Pass, High Pass or Band Pass type. FREQUENCY Knob This controls the basic Cut off frequency of the Filter. The Low Pass type of Filter is the most common type of Filter found on classic analogue syn- thesizers and is musically the most useful, especially for bass sounds. -
Page 25: Lfos Section
MAIN FEATURES AND OPERATION LFOs Section There are two LFOs - Low Frequency Oscillators - available on the KS 4 / KS 5. These produce regular electronic variations which are too low to be heard when converted into audio vibrations. They can modify various ele- ments of the sound, producing regular changes in pitch (vibrato), pulse width or filter Cut off. -
Page 26: Envelopes Section
Headphone output, also on the rear panel. Using a mixing desk as a com- parison, this control can be thought of as the channel volume fader.

Page 27: Effects Section
MAIN FEATURES AND OPERATION Effects Section Effects delay reverb chorus select distortion effects level panning vocoder Seven different Effects which may be used simultaneously are provided. These effects are saved as an integral part of a sound when writing it to memory. -
Page 28: Arpeggiator Section
It actually does this by feeding the Modulator signal into a bank of band pass filters. Each of these filters (16 of them on the KS Rack) covers a set band in the audio spectrum from low to high frequencies. - Page 29 MAIN FEATURES AND OPERATION ARP MENU Button Pressing this button accesses the Arpeggiator Menu. The LED above the MENUS button in the Mode / Keypad section of the front panel lights to confirm this. The parameters and features available in the Arpeggiator Menu are detailed on page 54.

Page 34: Advanced Features
With POLY2, if the same note(s) are played repeatedly, they will use the same synthesizer voices as used previously, thus avoiding the ‘stacked note’ effect. Unison Voices (Menu Page 2) Unison allows more than one voice to be used for each note played on the keyboard. - Page 35 Envelope is used only for FM purposes and is not one of the Envelopes available on the front panel. The diagram below shows in block diagram format how the KS Rack can produce FM sounds.
- Page 36 ADVANCED FEATURES The Oscillator Menu OSC 2 - 3 FM Manual Level (Menu Page 9) Controls the amount that Oscillator 3 is directly Frequency Modulated by Oscillator 2. Whilst playing a note, adjust this value by using the PERF / PROG / DATA knob.

ADVANCED FEATURES The Effects Menus To complement the front panel controls in the Effects section, there are many other functions located within the Effects Menus. These are select- ed by pressing the keypad ‘6’ button a when a Menu is selected. The Effects Menus comprise of seven separate sub-Menus (one for each different type of effect available). -
Page 42: Reverb Menu
The Reverb Menu The Reverb Menu The Reverb Effect is an electronic simulation of a room or building that is acoustically reflective. When a sound is made in a room or large building, there are sound reflections from all directions. When a Reverb effect is applied, it is these reflections of the sound that are being added. -
Page 43: Chorus Menu
ADVANCED FEATURES The Chorus Menu This effect was originally designed to simulate the sound of many people singing together (hence the name Chorus) in contrast to a single voice. Instrumentally, consider the sound of a 12 string guitar compared to a 6 string guitar. -
Page 44: Distortion Menu
The Distortion Menu The Distortion Menu Distortion is an effect commonly used by Guitar players. However, it is now increasingly used in the production of modern Dance music. The Distortion effect gives the sound a hard edged, distorted and dirty kind of quality. -
Page 45: Eq Menu
ADVANCED FEATURES The EQ Menu Contained in the Effects section is an EQ (Equalisation) Filter which can boost or cut high (treble) or low (bass) frequencies in a similar manner to the ‘tone’ controls often found on domestic hi-fi units. As well as being able to boost low or high frequencies, the final output EQ Filter may be used to create automatic sweeps of EQ and filtering. -
Page 46: Panning Menu
The Panning Menu - The Vocoder Menu The Panning Menu The Panning function performs the same function as the Panning knob on a mixing console. It can be used to position a sound anywhere from left to right in the stereo field. Changing the Pan Position of a sound Ensure that Panning is selected by the SELECT buttons in the Effects section. -
