The LFO waveforms appear to be hidden deep in the parameter list and only reached by hitting page+ or page- many times which is a pain when you are playing around with creating patches.

Is there a way of quickly changing the LFO waveforms without going through this?

When you are in the menu you can navigate by pressing the sound category buttons to reach the LFO sites and then click +- to find the wished parameter.

But be sure to be in the menu already, otherwise your so far created sound is lost, cause you chose a different preset by pressing the category buttons (that happened a few times to me).

Doesn't the librarian software provide any possibilities of editing this?

No, its a librarian not a editor.

In that case I'm gonna reconsider buying it.

I dont need a editor for this synth, I like the interface very much.

No problem scrolling through the menus? Maybe I'm just a bit lazy, haha.

No, an example: you want to edit the LFO

You tweak maybe the intensity and frequency by the knobs, then the menu jumps automatically to the LFO sites and you just have to push +- to reach the other LFO parameters like waveform f. I.

Its really well done. Ok a knob for each parameter would be better, but its vers usable. I like it.

Aah, that's good to know. Good luck with finding an easy way of changing waveforms!

I wouldnt use an editor for this synth. Programming it is for me much faster than programming a software synth.

There is only one detail of the interface that makes me angry, besides the fact that the layout seems to be better for left handed keyboardists:-), I mentioned it before:

I start tweaking a sound just with the knobs and buttons and suddenly want to edit a parameter without an extraknob. So I press a category button to jump directly to a certain parametersection... And my sound is lost, cause I forgot to press first the page +- buttons, grrrrrrr.

So I would suggest and I do it, if I dont forget it:-), before start tweaking press the page button to avoid this.

Yes, the KK allows very direct programming.

But still nothing gives you as fast access and as good overview over the whole patch structure and the modulation matrix as a well done editor does.

Since some days I use the Microkorg XL+. It has a first class editor, and the KK librarian doesn't remotely match that quality. I also was surprised to see that the little Micro got a third envelope for free use, and a significantly advanced Virtual Patch structure over the KK. With both these enhancements and the proper editor of the Micro, the KK would really be a cool synth.
