K5 Pro Editor (JCD Softs, France 1986)
FREE DOWNLOAD... (see below)
 

Editor software for Kawai K5 synthesiser, running on Atari ST computers.

Three main windows - two for editing single sounds, one for arranging, sorting, and configuring multiple sounds. The program also includes a semi-intelligent mode, for creating sounds automatically.
The K5 created sounds using additive synthesis with 128 elements individually configurable by 'drawing' on the screen. The software produces 3-dimensional views of individual sounds - useful for visualising complex envelopes. Click the image to enlarge it

  
 

The second single-sound screen offers control over LFO parameters, keyboard scaling, oscillator tuning, etc.
All on-screen tools and menus can be displayed with captions in either French or English. Every parameter is modifiable by numerical or graphical interaction.

 


Multiple sounds window
Individual sounds are arranged into groups using drag-and-drop techniques. An additional 'sort' window allows groups of sounds to be moved from one location to another, quickly and intuitively.

QUAD a sideways variation on the Tetris theme.
PAC multi-level Pacman-type game with scrolling display.
BREAK a sophisticated breakout-type game with multiple tiles and pixel-accurate graphics.
TILES Mac-style sliding puzzle.
General controls - all four games use arrow keys to move around the playing area. For convenience the C key can also be used as an alternative to the down arrow. Sound - select whether you want sound effects or not by pressing Y or N while the opening message is displayed. High Scores - are saved in the top four calculator memories (since these are seldom used).
QUAD: The idea is to build walls using the falling brick shapes. After a while the ground will rise and consume any partly-built walls. Note: use the MODE key to force the next brick down without demolishing the wall - the higher the wall you can build before demolishing it, the more points you will get - this is the way to get really high scores. PAC Simple rules: eat the dots (and fruit bonuses) and avoid the ghosts. If you eat a 'power pill' you can chase the ghosts and eat them for a while. The more you can eat in one go, the higher your score will be. On higher levels there are also transporters and mystery squares, and things get much harder. BREAK The scrolling display makes things harder. There are plenty of different tiles to contend with, so just try them out to see what they do. There are plenty of different levels too.
TILES this is exactly the same as the simple sliding tile puzzle that comes with the Macintosh.
