KAWAI K1
Sound Examples
K1's sound
K1's VM waves sound fatter than PCM synths,
and they are useful for both emulating analog pad and generating high digital frequencies.
Using AM and amplitude controls,
Poly-modulation things and even filter resonance can be emulated to some extent.
The 8bit PCM adds unique characters.
The only major drawback is the noise - probably due to the 8bit resolution,
K1 generates much noise in the release and quieter segments.
