PRODUCT OVERVIEW The RetroSound MK100 is a combined synth and drum machine based on the MK100 from the early 80s, lovingly recreated for NI’s Kontakt sampler. All synth presets can be customised with different waveforms and envelopes in exactly the same way as the hardware, together with the chorus and tremolo effects. In addition we have the ability to bring Kontakt’s synth engine to bear on the source sounds, so each of the two synth layers can have it’s own independent filter and envelope settings. All the preset drum patterns and fills are present, as is the Custom Drummer. The drum voices aren’t just limited to the straight preset sounds on the hardware, but can be modified in a number ways - and in addition to the real-time pattern recording from the original, a full graphic step editor lets you edit your patterns, as well as full MIDI keyboard driven operation for real-time jamming and creative sessions. And the effects page ties it all together with a reverb and delay, and some other output effects to further shape the output - or you can just leave the FX off and use your usual plugins as required.  LISTEN If you're unsure whether this is right for you, here's a short example of what's included in RetroSound MK-100  INSPIRATION The MK100 was a little gem of a home keyboard. Unlike it's contemporaries, the stereo-chorus equipped MK100 had 12 standard presets consisting of two layers, and you could customise the waveforms and envelopes each used (the manual proudly proclaimed “1,376 sound possibilities!”). And it actually sounded good! While it’s not an FM machine, it’s voicings and waveforms (and colour scheme!) were clearly derived from the brand new DX range. As it result, it sounded afresh, and looked fabulous! Not only that, but alongside the preset drum patterns you had a programmable drum machine - yes, for perhaps the first time in a home keyboard you could write your own drum patterns! A big selling point was the “Multi-Menu”, an innovative device where you would spin a wheel revealing a new set of menu options - nine pages in all, giving the user the ability to customise sounds, access the Custom Drummer, Custom Bassist and Music Recorder functions, and save/load data from cassette. SYNTH The RetroSound MK100 features the 12 main preset sounds of the hardware. Each preset can be customised individually by turning on Vari 1 (Waves) and/or Vari 2 (Envelopes) and choosing different options - the first group of four in the menu applying to Wave 1, and the second group of four to Wave 2. Many presets have additional “hidden” waves and/or envelope settings, so different presets have different sound possibilities to explore, true to the behaviour of the hardware. By turning the Extended Synthesis page on, you now have full control over the filter settings, filter and amp envelopes, and velocity response for each of the two layers (or both together in “Link” mode), to give more creative options while still retaining the character of the instrument. You can also detune and spread the layers. DRUMS The MK100’s drum machine features 12 pattern preset “styles”, each with three variations, and it’s own fill pattern, and synchronises to the Host tempo. With “Syncro Start” enabled, the drum machine will start either on a key press, or will follow your Hosts transport controls. By turning on “Key Play”, the patterns and fills can be triggered in real-time from your MIDI keyboard. “Custom Drummer” reveals the step editor and allows you to edit/create your own patterns in place of the 36 presets. You can use both the step editor and real-time recording/erasing to create your patterns, using the 6 built-in drum sounds. “Voice” lets you customise each of the drum sounds - you can change Pitch, shorten the Decay, change the Tone and Colour (the effect of these vary for each voice), send to the global Reverb and Delay (if they are turned on), and balance the Level. If you chose an output configuration in Kontakt with more outputs than the main stereo output, each drum will be routed to it’s own individual output to your interface/host for further processing. EFFECTS The Effects page features global FX, and other instrument preferences. Global Reverb and Delay are available on the synth engine (you also can send individual drum voices to each as well), as is a slow deep phaser setting. The Output effects include tape Warmth, a Wide setting, and an overall Compression effect. You can disable the FX completely with one button press, and by using the “FX Lock” button, leave your chosen setting in place while browsing additional presets. FEATURES Samples Sampled at 24-bit 44.1Khz, Output to 16-bit 44.1KHz NCW 49 chromatic samples per Wave, 17 Waves in total, 6 sampled drum sounds Synth All the 12 presets & synthesis options (“1376 combinations”) of the hardware Extended synthesis features - independent filter, filter and amp envelopes for each of the two Waves Drums Integrated Rhythm/ 产品概述 RetroSound MK100是一款基于80年代初MK100的合成器和鼓机，为NI的Kontakt采样器精心打造。 所有的合成器预设都可以用不同的波形和信封进行自定义，与硬件完全一样，还有合唱和颤音效果。 此外，我们还可以将Kontakt的合成引擎加载到源声音上，因此两个合成图层中的每一个都可以拥有独立的滤镜和信封设置。 所有的预设鼓模式和填充都存在，如自定义鼓手。鼓的声音不仅限于硬件上的预设直接声音，而且可以通过多种方式进行修改 - 除了从原始的实时模式录制外，完整的图形步骤编辑器还允许您编辑模式，以及完整的MIDI键盘驱动操作实时干扰和创造性的会议。 效果页面将所有这些与混响和延迟结合在一起，还有一些其他输出效果可以进一步调整输出 - 或者，您可以关闭FX，并根据需要使用通常的插件。  听 如果你不确定这是否适合你，下面是RetroSound MK-100包含的一个简单例子  灵感 MK100是家用键盘的一个小宝石。与同时代的不同，配备MK100的立体声合唱器有12个标准预设，由两层组成，您可以自定义每个使用的波形和信封（该手册自豪地宣称“1,376声音的可能性！”）。而且它听起来不错！ 虽然它不是一台FM机器，但它的声音和波形（以及配色方案！）显然来自全新的DX系列。结果，它重新响起，看起来很棒！ 不仅如此，除了预设鼓模式，还有一个可编程的鼓机 - 是的，也许是第一次使用家用键盘，您可以编写自己的鼓模式！ 一个很大的卖点是“多菜单”，一个创新的设备，你可以旋转车轮揭示了一套新的菜单选项 - 总共九页，让用户能够定制的声音，访问定制鼓手，自定义低音和音乐录音机功能，并保存/加载数据从磁带。 SYNTH RetroSound MK100具有硬件的12个主要预设声音。 可以通过打开Vari 1（波形）和/或Vari 2（信封）并选择不同的选项来分别对每个预设进行自定义 - 菜单中的第一组四个适用于Wave 1，第二组四个适用于Wave 2。 许多预设有额外的“隐藏”波和/或信封设置，所以不同的预设有不同的声音可能性探索，真正的硬件的行为。 通过打开扩展合成页面，您现在可以完全控制两个图层中的每个图层的过滤器设置，过滤器和放大器包络以及速度响应（或者两者都在“链接”模式下），以提供更多的创意选项保留乐器的特征。 您也可以调谐并传播图层。 DRUMS MK100的鼓机具有12种模式预设的“风格”，每种风格有三种变化，它是自己的填充模式，并与主机速度同步。 启用“Syncro Start”后，鼓机将按键启动，或者按照您的主机传输控制。 通过打开“Key Play”，可以从MIDI键盘实时触发模式和填充。 “自定义鼓手”显示步骤编辑器，并允许您编辑/创建自己的模式，而不是36个预设。您可以使用步骤编辑器和实时录制/删除来创建您的模式，使用6内置鼓声音。 “声音”可让您自定义每个鼓音色 - 您可以更改音高，缩短衰减，改变音色和颜色（这些效果会因每个声音而异），发送到全局混响和延迟（如果它们已打开），并平衡水平。 如果您在Kontakt中选择输出配置的输出比主立体声输出更多，则每个鼓将被路由到它自己的输出到您的接口/主机以进一步处理。 影响 效果页面包含全局FX和其他乐器偏好设置。 全球混响和延迟可用合成引擎（你也可以发送单独的鼓声音，以及），作为一个缓慢的深相位设置。 输出效果包括磁带温度，宽屏幕设置和整体压缩效果。 您只需按一下按钮即可完全禁用FX，并通过使用“FX锁定”按钮，在浏览其他预设时保留所选设置。 特征 样品 以24位44.1Khz采样，输出到16位44.1KHz NCW 每波49色样本，共17波，6采样鼓声音合成 硬件的所有12个预置和综合选项（“1376个组合”） 扩展的综合功能 - 为两个波中的每一个独立的滤波器，滤波器和放大器包络 鼓 综合节奏 |
