KAWAI PCM/DC
XS-1



About

KAWAI XS-1 16bit Synthesizer Module is a PCM synthesizer which combines PCM samples and single cycle DC Waves. It has no filter but still produces some unique sounds.

It seems to be the module version of KAWAI SPECTRA KC10, as the specification of the synthesis engine looks the same.

I made an XS-1 editor for Emagic SoundDiver. Follow the link below for the downloads and sound samples.
I hope it would work with SPECTRA too, but I'm not sure. Please tell me if you have a SPECTRA and SoundDiver.
