Kawai K3

[@TheJesterboy1969]

I love this synth, very similar to the dw-8000

[@clusterchord1]

great demo. nice that you first played dry and then into eventide. gives better perspective of dry tone and then interplay with reverb - which in case of K3, is nothing short of fantastic.

That keyboard was THE HEAVIEST piece of equipment I ever owned!

[@littlebritain64]

The look is similar to the popular Rolands and Yamahas in the '80's, but its digalog sound is different and spectacular, as the one of the Korg DW-8000 and first Ensoniqs.

Thank you, this is actually a useful demo. I like this synth, it reminds me of my JX-8P. Would you say there are some sound similarities between them?

[@SSMCurtis]

Yes - both sounds like 80ties (production years 1983, 1986), using subtractive synthese and adding a Chorus - but they are different in other parts: DCO vs. WaveSamples, RolandFilter (IR3109) vs. SSM-Filter (2044).

I had one.

Hello. I am curious about the delay effect. Is it a real delay, does this effect have any modifiable parameter?

[@BasedFrequency]

promo code no longer seems to work

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Is this synth capabale achieving DW8000 lead type a sound? Mellow and warm but bitey? Kind regard.

[@SSMCurtis]

Both share same architecture: digital waves, analog filter (DW8000 is afaik also ssm based) - I think it should be possible, but K3 has no detune in monophonic mode.

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

@@SSMCurtis Oh i see. Thanks for let me know.

[@markusande1]

Dw has the njm2069 filter chips. Little is known about it other than that it sounds amazing. Lose alot of low end as you increase the resonance though

[@kicksNCY]

@@markusande1 which one would you take ? dw or k3 ?
