WAVE IN HEAD - STUDIO - KAWAI K5m


Kawai`s K5 was their 2nd trial after the K3, to integrate additive sythesis into a commercial product. This time with up to 128 harmonic sinewaves or 2 against each other tuneable harmonic generators with 64 harmonics each. Every single overtone could be controlled by one of 4 envelopes which enabled an automated harmonic level mix.

synthesis:
Digital Additive
voices:16
oscillators:2 Digitale Harmonic Generators
filter:1 (LP/BP blendable)
LFOs:1 per voice
envelopes:14 per voice
sound: 80%
If you own a noisegate the K5 or its rack version K5m is THE machine for zany, strange or just metallic digital sounds. I like its extremely warm strings, which give you the feeling, something super old is taking the word. It is also very good a choirs. Unfortunately you can hear it out of a bunch of synths. Alone and in multimode it´s gonna be very digital and ice cold.
