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.
