K5k in Commercial Recordings?

     Has anyone recognised the K5k in any commercial recordings?

     It's getting very hard to tell by ear where a sound is coming from, since there
     are so many synth and effect types that overlap in sound. The K5k is very
     versatile, but it does seem to have a characteristic "sweetness", maybe from
     using a perfect harmonic series.

     Is Air using a K5k? Mono?

     I don't know if it's shown up on other commercial recordings, but I can say that
     it will definitely show up in the soundtrack to Duke Nukem Forever.

     That sounds like a "high five". Should we look in the score or under an artist name?

     yup... the progressive house act "Way out west" is known to use them live and
     presumably on tracks....

     I used the K5000R on my recent release, Synthetic Block, on Mindspore Records.
     It's an ambient/space affair. I got the K5000 at the tail end of recording
     so I only used it to double up a bass and a few pads here or there. Check out
     http://members.tripod.com/~synthetic_block/ for some sound samples.
