K3 additive wave different than K5?

The K3 has 33 waves plus a white noise generator. Wave number 32 is a 
user programable additive synth wave with 127 user assignable 
harmonics.  I am looking for oppinions on how close the K3 is to 
getting a K3 additive sound?

Re: K3 additive wave different than K5?

You can use 32 harmonics out of 1-128th. The level of each 32 harmonics 
can be set to 1-32.
The set of harmonics is computed into a static waveform. You can't modulate 
each harmonics unlike you can with K5.
K3 is rather like an waveform-editable version of KORG DW-8000.

intransigent K5 buttons

Hi folks,

I'm in the process of putting my studio back together and am using my 
K5 as a master controller.  I've got a new backlight on order (the 
inverter is ok) so that little item is taken care of.  I do have some 
buttons that don't always work on the first push and I thought I 
would follow the directions I found on the kfuenf.com site to clean 
them up, but my buttons don't seem to follow the same rules as those 
outlined in the tech area on kfuenf.com.  The individual switches are 
little cubic thingies, about 1/4" on a side, and the button head (the 
part you push on) mounts onto slots on either side of the switch 
actuator with a couple plastic tabs.  With the button removed from 
the switch I can see no apparent way to get into the switch itself to 
clean the contacts.  The switch actuator is captured by the switch 
body and it doesn't appear to be a user servicable part.  Have any of 
you run into this same problem with the switch type described, and if 
so, how did you deal with it?  I would imagine I should be able to 
squirt some electronics contact cleaner down around the edge of the 
actuator but I don't want to make matters worse instead of better.  
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but I don't think so.  Any 
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance....

Re: intransigent K5 buttons

Remove the brown cap over the buttons with the words
on it(push it up or down looking from top by the
sides), there's a white moving part that holds the
button into a gray part, which isn't removable except
by unsoldering it. The white part is clipped into the
gray one, use small screwdrivers, or use pliers but
DON'T TWIST IT, the button might get unusable after if
you do this.

Re: intransigent K5 buttons

Hi Antoine,

Well, I dug back into that board with the buttons and actually 
managed to get one of them apart.  They are really delicate little 
things and I'd like to find a better way to disassemble them.  I do 
quite a bit of gunsmithing and know from that activity that having 
the right tool for the job is a huge part of getting most anything 
done, so I'm going to think about coming up with something that will 
allow the little tabs on the movable part of the button to be 
compressed so the part can be removed from the switch body without 
damage.  In the meantime I'm going to live with the few buttons that 
take more than a single push to get activated.  Thanks for the tip, 
though... it at least allowed me to get a better feel for what's 
going on in there.
