accorded the percussion sounds (such DX7) laughing sounds
It is super fun when testing to imitate acoustic sounds (oboe, clarinet ...)
and it becomes easy to make dtournements and do something completely
treble on converters confrent brilliant sound and there is even solos kinds Korg Wavestation even if it does innovate, they may not be quite useful
No use I think with a multi-effects for many dployer the capabilities of the beast

NOTICE GLOBAL

hindsight I rachterai this product without hsiter especially now that the price is ridiculous but it's clear that we should not n 'that have a.
it has its place in a home studio worthy of the name
In short, a very endearing and funny amazing synth that can fit well in an ambient background music or electro

old but nice

K1R the expander 64 is a sound and expandable with memory card
It has not filter or effect
it has a mono mode and the ability to combine 4 stamps with 16-voice polyphony
editions are simple once you understand the principle
Editable in editing software
the general appearance of the machine gives a good impression of solidity
no button gives sign of weakness, however, that I have already knocked at

UTILIZATION

the configuration is not confusing at the same time as it n 'there is no effect or filter and it' s no basic 64 sounds that remains accessible
For my part I have taken in hand quickly without opening a page of the pdf manual

SOUNDS

if you want big sounds do not dwell on this product
if you want realistic sounds either
however the color-pointed the device gives rise to funny patches and laughing
many sounds reminiscent Wavestation including synth solos that I 'used very often
to listen to those kind of whistle
I have received particular sounds tuned percussion oriented glockenspiel or bottle
but then it becomes interesting or that is when it tries to imitate acoustic sounds, guitars, keyboards, woodwinds, brass, everything is distorted can easily divert to do anything else
you will have understood it is easier to cram in this synth ambient compositions, electro and even embed synth solos that are not ridiculous in the good old prog rock
a multi-purpose (eg a simple delay) and now, here you have the impression of being in control of a big machine

OVERALL OPINION

halfway between the DX7 for granted percussion and Wavestation for this hybrid synth solos surprises by its creativity
it has not necessarily actual sounds but still delight beginners computer music penniless
I will redeem this model without hesitation that surprises me every time I switch tone
we even end up forgetting the lack of filters
if you dream of a cheap synth to expand your setup do not hesitate

Old, reliable, simple and fun

Kawai K1R did not start today. This is practically the generation of Roland D110.
This is a synth 19 "rack with stereo output, connections Midi In, Midi Out and Midi thrue facing backwards.
64 sounds in memory (and yes seulemebnt) with 16 channel polyphony.
It responds well to control noon and configures base rather easily.
I bought it used and used for ten years without any reliability issues.

UTILIZATION

The sounds are edited by mixing four predefined waveforms whose little change skins.
It is both quite simple and rather difficult to obtenie one sounds accurate.

SOUNDS

The sounds are generally a bit dated, but some sounds have a very nice side, just by their vintage side.
He who seeks the mega huge and beautiful sounds of synthesizers today may be disappointed.
I must admit that if I had not, I would pass.
But yet I use it regularly in quite a bit for breakfast its a bit bizare that punctuates something or make a small appearance.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years.
It may not be a machine I buy now, but given the price, it can be a nice thing to apoint for small budget (which étatit my case at the time)
I do not regret my choice, because this machine really does not pose any problem.

SOUNDS

We can get a very different range of sounds, from the big water very rich and sharp with strange effects. The sets of percussion and the strings are interressants for loops but has-been alone. Full MIDI master keyboard or sequencer via. Editing sounds complete.

OVERALL OPINION

A small expander that not look but can make many services in addition to a live. No breath sounds and good dynamic interressants. Somewhat complex to edit but if you read the doc is doing it quickly.
