Thank you for purchasing the Novation KS Rack Synthesizer.

This instrument is a multi-timbral, enhanced version of the popular K-

Station keyboard synthesizer. The design of the has evolved from the K-

Station and KS 4 / KS 5, using the very latest award-winning Novation

technology found in highly-acclaimed products such as Nova and

Supernova II. The KS Rack is capable of producing an enormous range of

high quality synthesized sounds and is an ideal machine for a home stu-

dio set-up or for an experienced producer looking to add an extra dimen-

sion of sound power.

Using this Manual

This manual consists of six sections, Introduction, Quick Start Guide,

Synthesis Tutorial, MIDI Tutorial, Main Features and Operation, and

Advanced Features. For easy reference, the section name is printed at

the top of each page. An on the final pages lists all menuAppendix

options and factory preset sounds list.

In order to become an expert user as quickly as possible, it is recom-

mended that this manual is read in sequence chapter by chapter. If sound

synthesis is an unfamiliar subject, then the chapter Synthesis Tutorial

will provide a useful introduction to the techniques used to electronically

simulate the sound of a musical instrument using an analogue music syn-

thesizer.

Another chapter, MIDI Tutorial provides an useful introduction to the sub-

ject of MIDI and how it is used for communication between instruments

and / or sequencers. The chapter also describes how the KS Rack trans-

mits and recognizes various types of MIDI messages.

If the general principles of Sound Synthesis and MIDI are already familiar,

then the Quick Start Guide is the place to begin. Once familiar with the

main features of the machine, the Advanced Features section covers the

Effects, Arpeggiators, Synchronization, Triggering and the Utilities, and

will provide all of the information needed to operate the KS Rack in the

most creative, productive way. Have fun !

Main Features

Four hundred Program memories

Two hundred factory programmed sounds are included and a further two

hundred user sound memory locations are provided (factory programmed

sounds may be overwritten).

One hundred Performance memories

Fifty factory programmed multi-timbral Performances are included and a

further fifty user Performance locations are provided (factory programmed

Performances may be overwitten).

Each Performance can consist of up to four different Programs, each with

its own unique effects settings, MIDI channel assignments and keyboard

settings. Program data for each Performance Part are stored in the

Performance memory location.

Four Drum Maps

Two factory programmed Drum Maps are included with a further two user

Drum Maps available (factory programmed Drum Maps may be over-writ-

ten).

Drum Maps allow a whole drum kit to be mapped across 49 notes of the

keyboard with each drum sound available on a different key. Drum Maps

consume only one unit of Multi-timbrality.

Powerful Oscillators

Three Oscillators provide the standard Sawtooth, Square, Variable Pulse,

Triangle and Sine waves. Additional sampled waveforms are also avail-

able, each containing complex audio information not available in the stan-

dard waveforms.

The Sawtooth, Triangle and Sine waveforms may be duplicated within a

single Oscillator to provide thicker sounding waveforms. Synchronization

and FM between two Oscillators allow the generation of metallic or per-

cussive timbres. A four section noise source completes the waveform

engine.

External Audio Input

The Mixer allows an external audio signal to be combined with the

Oscillators and processed through the Filter, Envelopes and Effects.

Envelopes may also be auto-triggered by an external signal.

Vocoder

The 16 band Vocoder makes it easy to create Robot and Talky sound

effects.

Four Arpeggiators

The arpeggiator features six different operational modes with adjustable

gate time for staccato effects. Thirty two rhythmic patterns are available to

introduce complex motion effects. In multi-timbral Performance Mode, up

to four arpeggiators are available simultaneously, each with their own

unique settings. All four arpeggiators can can be individually synchronised

to MIDI Clock at different time signatures.

HyperSync

Sixteen ‘Hypersync’ templates provide fast,effective, musically synchro-

nized settings with a simple twist of a control.

When selected, synchronisation settings to four Effects and four Program

parameters are instantly applied. Settings for the Delay level, Chorus

Level, Panning Depth and EQ Modulation Depth are also applied.

Using these tempo synchronized features can significantly enhance music

production.

Comprehensive MIDI Control Specification

Adjustments of any controls transmit MIDI Controller numbers or NRPNs

for real time recording by a sequencer or computer.

Powerful Effects

The effects processor includes Distortion, Stereo Chorus, Phaser, Reverb,

Synchronized Delay and Synchronized Stereo Panning. Complex, dynam-

ic timbres may be created using tempo synchronized effects settings. A

final output EQ and Filter section complete with a tempo synchronized

LFO allow for a performance to be automatically filtered and time locked

from 32nd triplets through to several bars.

In multi-timbral Performance Mode, each of the four individual Parts can

have its own unique Effects settings.

Data Compatibility

The KS Rack has been designed to allow the loading of Sysex data

dumps from the Novation K-Station and A-Station. This ensures that exist-

ing sound libraries and global settings can easily be transferred from the

older types of machine. Data is also fully compatible with the Novation KS

4 and KS 5 synthesizers.

Conventions Used In This Manual

The word ‘Program’ refers to a collection of knob and switch settings that

define an individual ‘Sound’. These settings are then saved as a

‘Program’ which has a corresponding name and number in the machine’s

non volatile memory.

Throughout this manual the two words, ‘Sound’ and ‘Program’ are fre-

quently referred to and essentially have the same meaning.

The term ‘Drum Map’ refers to a whole kit of drum sounds which are

mapped across the keyboard, with each keyboard note triggering a differ-

ent drum sound.

The word ‘Performance’ refers to a multi-timbral setting where up to four

Programs and/or Drum Maps are available for playing simultaneously.

This entire arrangement is then saved as a ‘Performance’ which has a

name and number assigned in the machine’s non-volatile memory.

Each of the four Programs / Drum Maps making up a Performance is

referred to as a ‘Part’.

The word ‘Preset’ refers to a Program/Performance/Drum Map which was

set up at the factory to showcase some of the KS Rack’s powerful sound

possibilities. Preset memories may actually be overwritten with new set-

tings, but it is possible to restore them to the original factory set

Programs, Drum Maps or Performances by loading in a MIDI file if they

have been overwritten by mistake.

INTRODUCTION

Using this Manual - Main Features - Conventions used in this manual

• •3

Text in CAPITALS refer to a front panel control or legend (even though the

name of the control may actually be in lower case on the front panel). It

could be a knob or button. For example, FREQUENCY refers to the Filter

frequency control knob. MENUS refers to the Menu Mode button.

The fastest way to become familiar with the product is to follow this quick

start guide. It covers connecting up to audio equipment, listening to the

factory preset sounds, selecting sounds, editing a sound and saving a

sound into a memory location.

Connecting to Audio and MIDI equipment

Before connecting to other units in the system, ensure the power to all

units is off. Connect an audio cable from the Left and Right master output

sockets to a suitable amplifier or mixing desk stereo inputs. f MONOI

operation is required, either output may be used.

Connect the power cable to the socket ‘Power In’ and connect the cable

to the AC mains. Switch on the power. The display will show the name of

the last selected Program, Drum Map or Performance and its number.

Select Program Mode by pressing the PROG button.

Finally, switch on the other units in the Audio system (amplifier, mixer

etc.).

Listening to the factory preset sounds

Set the VOLUME control to a reasonably high output level. This will main-

tain a good signal to noise ratio. Make sure that the input volume setting

on the system amplifier or mixer is initially set to zero.

On leaving the factory, the KS Rack is set to receive MIDI information on

Channel 1, so, if using an external master keyboard or sequencer to trig-

ger the sounds, ensure that it is set to transmit on this MIDI channel.

Playing a connected master keyboard or sequencer will result in the cur-

rently selected factory preset sound being heard.

A full listing of the factory preset Programs, Drum Maps and

Performances can be found on page 59. The first few locations of the

user Programs in bank 3 (Program Number 300 onwards) contain initiali-

sation examples. These are also described in the list.

On leaving the factory, the KS Rack has been configured to automatically

select Performance 100 once it is turned on (It is possible to override this

so that the KS Rack automatically selects the Program, Drum Map or

Performance of your choice - see page 50).

The first 50 Performances have been configured at the factory to show-

case some of the impressive features available on the KS Rack. To

inspect the factory set Performances, refer to the Selecting Performances

section of this manual on page 4. These Performances are listed in detail

on page 60.

Selecting Programs and Drum Maps

There are two main modes of operation - where theProgram Mode

machine is mono-timbral (only one type of sound is available for playing)

and Performance Mode where the machine is four Part multi-timbral (up

to four different sounds can be played simultaneously).

Program Mode is selected by pressing the PROG button. The LED above

the button lights to confirm that Program Mode is selected. The standard

Program Mode display will be shown.

Program’s name 101

Category Name

Program Mode is convenient for auditioning individual sounds.

Standard Programs are organised into four banks, each bank containing

100 sounds. These are referred to as banks 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Bank 1 100 - 199 - First bank of factory preset sounds

Bank 2 200 - 299 - Second bank of factory preset sounds

Bank 3 300 - 399 - First bank of user sounds

Bank 4 400 - 499 - Second bank of user sounds

The next four banks contain four Drum Maps. Drum Maps are whole kits

of percussion sounds, each sound corresponding to an individual note on

the keyboard. A Drum Map is a ‘batch’ of 49 Programs. Each of these

sounds has been programmed to closely immitate the sound of a real or

electronic type of percussion sound, be it a Bass Drum, Snare Drum etc.

Following the 49th Drum Map Program is an extra Program containing the

Effects settings used by the Drum Map as a whole.

A Drum Map may be selected at any time by pressing the DRUM EDIT

button. The last selected drum bank will then be available on the key-

board to audition.

When any Program in a Drum Map is selected, all other Programs located

in the same Drum Map are also available for playing on the keyboard.

To return to a normal Program, select a program between 100 and 499

The Drum Maps available are :

Bank 5 500 - 549 - First factory preset Drum Map

Bank 6 600 - 649 - Second factory preset Drum Map

Bank 7 700 - 749 - First user Drum Map

Bank 8 800 - 849 - Second user Drum Map

There are four methods of selecting Programs, Drum Maps or

Performances. Before using any of the methods, Ensure that a Menu is

not active (the LED above the MENUS button must not be lit). If a Menu

is selected, press the PROG button to select Program Mode.

1 - Using the 0 - 9 Keypad buttons

There must always be a three digit entry on the numeric keypad, for

example : To select Bank 1 sound 8, press the buttons. The1, 0 and 8

display will now show the name of the newly selected sound and indicate

that sound has been selected. 108

2 - Using the PAGE buttons

The PAGE buttons may be used to move up or down to the next Program.

Pressing and holding either button for a short period will cause the

Program / Performance number to advance / decrease by a further 9.

3 - Using the PERF / PROG / DATA knob

The DATA knob may be used to move up or down to the next Program.

Turning the knob slowly will advance the selection by one by one. Turning

the knob more quickly will increase the rate of selection.

If the the end of a Program bank has been reached, the first Program of

the next bank will be selected, for example Program 199 moves to

Program 200.
