To my surprise, chips U39 and U40 sounded just fine now! A little bit of 8 bit noise, but nothing unexpected. I changed the import format and loaded them again. This can be seen by adjacent bytes constantly rising or falling, as below: I looked at the data in a hex editor and was surprised to find content that much more looked like 8 bit samples rather than 16 bit samples. What I also noticed is, that the former two chips sounded a bit distorted, had a lot of noise and the pitch seemed to be pretty high. While I had no issues with chips U39 and U40, chip U38 (the rightmost one in the picture above) sounded like garbage. I imported the raw data as 16 bit and listened. As the K4 claims to be a 16 bit sampler, it was expected that it needs more storage for the samples.Īfter having dumped all of them, which was very easy due to them being socketed this time, I loaded them into my wave editor to take a first look. In contrast to the K1, the K4 has three Wave ROMs in total.įrom left to right: Kawai K4 Wave ROM chips U40, U39, U38 I dumped the firmware just to verify that the content on the chip matches the firmware image that I already had on disk, which it does. The first thing I did is to dump the contents of the Firmware EPROM and the Wave ROMs. It would be nice if you would report back if everything works as intended ? as I don’t have an Apple M1.ĭownload Page Autor Nils Veröffentlicht am MMKategorien Kawai K1 Emulation, Private Programming Schlagwörter apple, emulation, K1, k1v, kawai, m1, soc, vst3, vsti 4 Kommentare zu Nils‘ K1v: VST3 & Apple M1 support Kawai K4: Really a 16 bit synthesizer? Only partially! This should give a performance boost on Apples new SoC. There are no separate downloads as the latest build now contains a so called „universal binary“ which contains the binary for both the x86_圆4 and ARM64 based processors.
Support for Apples new ARM-based SoC named M1 has been added to all Mac OS plugin versions. Issues? Feedback is welcome! ? Apple M1 Support Source 4 in Single mode, Single 4 in Multi mode Source 3 in Single mode, Single 3 in Multi mode Source 2 in Single mode, Single 2 in Multi mode Source 1 in Single mode, Single 1 in Multi mode The VST3 plugin has the following outputs: Stereo Out Note: As soon as one of the multi outputs is activated, the Stereo Output is silenced. If you want to use Multi Channel Output, activate the buses in your DAW manually. Note that, by default, only the Stereo Out is active. The VST3 version is identical to the VST2 version but adds support for multichannel output. The plugin is now available as VST3 for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Nils‘ K1v version 1.23 has been released, which brings the following two new features: VST3 Plugin
