Description
Upgradable Sounds
XK-6 contains a thorough collection of Electronica/Dance presets.These
sounds are rich in harmonic texture and a perfect complement to the Z-
plane filters. XK-6 contains three additional, user-upgradable sound SIMM
sockets, allowing you to mix and match sound sets according to your
needs. New sounds can be added as easily as plugging in a new 16MB or
32MB SIMM module. Each E-MU sound set has been meticulously crafted
to be the finest of its kind. Samples are expertly matched across the
keyboard and perfectly looped to create realistic instruments which form
the exceptionally playable presets.
1024 Presets & more
XK-6 contains 512 user presets and 512 factory ROM presets, but it can be
expanded with literally thousands of ROM presets.
(ROM presets are
automatically added when sound SIMMs are installed. As an example, a 32 MB
SIMM may contain up to 1024 ROM presets.)
XK-6’s Sound Navigator makes it
easy to find the exact sound you want. It’s powerful, yet simple to use.
Velocity & Pressure Sensitive Keyboard
The five-octave, velocity sensitive keyboard with aftertouch allows you to
perform live or record via MIDI into an external computer/sequencer. The
keyboard action is extremely responsive, capturing all the subtle nuances of
your performance.
Multi-Function Controllers
Multi-function buttons allow you to trigger arpeggiators and notes inter-
nally or on any of your other MIDI devices. They can act as preset select
buttons or Beats Mute or MIDI Trigger buttons (latched or unlatched).
Four real-time controller knobs are also multi-function controls. These
knobs make it a snap to edit and modify internal preset parameters. The
controllers are fully programmable and can control internal preset or other
MIDI equipment. They can also be programmed to adjust multiple internal
parameters at once, allowing complex levels of control. For example, a
single knob can simultaneously turn up filter cutoff, while detuning one
sample, and adjusting the release time of the volume envelope. Virtually
