Hi everybody!
I've just completed the first in a series of new mods for the SK1, SK5 and
SK8.
This first mod is called the
"Slo-A/D" mod.
It has been specifically designed for the SK5 and SK8, but will also work on the SK1 (the wiring points may be different, that's all - I don't have an SK1 to show them on).
It enables you to change the
attack and
decay rates of any preset and
sample sound to a slower attack and decay. The result of this is to
turn the original preset standard sounds into some amazing synth pad
sounds!
The violin and trumpet now sound like classic analog string sounds, the
piano and guitar sound like nothing else, the organ and celeste are now
stunning glassy DX7 "ghost" pads! Try it out on the surf and lion
sounds he he!
You can also apply it to any of the sampled sounds, in addition to
their own selectable A/D envelopes, to get even longer attacks and
decays!
I've uploaded the illustrated step-by-step guide onto the Yahoo SK group forum, in the FILES section (you'll have to join as a member in order to access the file, though - but there are so many other goodies on that site, you may as well!!):

Enjoy
