Sounds that adapt to all kind of music but very effective on the tekno for all who have perched water table medium.bons sounds
This is analogous to the sudden sounds are not realistic unless basic config
the effects are perfect LFO Delay

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for a year and I am very happy
the value for money is quite reasonable
I counsel everyone
to buy without counting!

The Kawai 100F is a vintage Synthesizer that is a very small piece of vintage gear, I think it only has 32 keys on it and doesn’t weigh much at all so it can be packed up and taken with you if you need to move it around. It is also a well built synth, the company that originally made these was bought out not long after they got built so I think that cause some problems with why it was as popular as I think it should have been. Most people will look down on this unit because it only has one oscillator, but there are still many different options to make it sound amazing and give it life.


UTILIZATION

Using it takes no effort there are only about 20 to 25 buttons or knobs on it, and they are all labled in plain English. This would be a great, vintage synth sound module to add to your collection if you are into vintage gear like I am. I still have one of these and I have used it about a million times. I am actually thinking of selling it to get another board ( because I have my eye on a few other pieces of vintage synths).


SOUNDS

The sounds are great, don’t let the one oscillator scare you away, you will have the options to really add some cool stuff to your sound, there are a number of effects and a hi pass filter that can flare up your sound too.


OVERALL OPINION

This board is still affordable and can be found online, I have even seen some people that had them brand new in the box, I don’t know how in the world they still have a brand new one but I have seen them. I would purchase a brand new one though because they are still asking a lot of money for them. And part of the vintage thing is it having some use to it. I don’t buy them unless they have been used and abused.

monophonic

UTILIZATION

very easy

SOUNDS

bad

OVERALL OPINION

all the advice I have just read are distorted by the effect of vintage fashion, the
rare object side, the nostalgia of those old synths that young people have not known
they leave the kawai 100f had a big flaw, correctness, thus unplayable for me, luckily he had 76 marks for the highest note was
a half-step below, but I enjoyed myself on it, if I had found a good sound, I put a perforated cardboard (cartons were sold with) and I noted the settings and if I put the box I could not find its never the same!!
could be found against by a variety of sounds, its simplicity allowed me to understand things bcp is a synth didactique.Aujourd 'hui too expensive.
except for collectors.

see above for characteristics

UTILIZATION

easy to use, easy editing

SOUNDS

worth what we are talking, monophonic synthesizer low end, we are very far down dyu game roland, moog and consort ie I know.

to three basses, fx and a lead if we are not demanding, it will be quite parcontre if it is not the case and you want a sound that turns your flat killing dancefloor mix, go your way.

It is quite comparable to the Teisco 60f I also very basic.

but it may be very appropriate, full of delays and effect of all kinds

OVERALL OPINION

I sold a song, I had the same time as the Teisco 60F, which we know it's the same box.

I will not repeat the same choice is on

4 / 10

In monophonic financirement affordable, the 100F is the most significant, personal, and pointed bones that I know. jJai heard testimonials to me seems influenced by the rating financire, type: bof, still monophonic, ect .. In fact, the modulations are worthy of a multimoog, including the filter that is jewelry (Lowpass trsrsonnant, feeding a simple high pass). Grace from the audio, signal processing or modulation, it is also a great effect. Good bass or swollen or hollow, but he excelled rather in mdiums hot competition for the same mono Roland PERIOD sr and well in the signals trs module appelsg nralement spciaux effects. THE FIRST Ds costs, what synth I pass under the nails and my hair is fried ....
There is a CV Gate impossible, that does nothing by gr interfaces, calibrated to the ..., I think an important note for those who would control it. For my part, I offered an adaptation of the gate at Mr. Dierstein CV, and since then my driver Sbasstation the fireball. I ot the keyboard again cheeks Solid Wood and since then I have a synth "table" rather nice in front of my racks. And it Rocks, honey

to buy besides!

OK for a synth keyboard. And flexible.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration. Looking at the dashboard, it takes on IMMEDIATE operating principle. Zippers and not to act on the knobs diffrent entity. Certainly IDAL to transform his live ...

Bass and crados crpitantes wish!

OVERALL OPINION

The Caravan of synthtiseur Place.
Frankly, an instrument gnial.
My deuxime synthtiseur monophonic aprsl Oberheim OB1 in, I sold OB1 in the crowd ...
And long life to the piano KAWAI!

a single synthesizer with a tilt filter out of this world.
3 octave monophonic.
Very sturdy (metal and wood).

UTILIZATION

everything is under the eyes and need only be tested.

SOUNDS

an oscillation of high purity. Where it works wonders on the filter.
Can be both big bass that leads really great and special effects for his highly original architecture allows.
The sounds are beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

Preferring the purity and clarity of analog monophonic oscillator to one I turned to this one because it was really good press and I regret it. If there was MOOG marked on the back of this machine it would be five times its current price and is therefore a case. For it is the level of large analog monophonic.

I will not repeat the same information but its a mono (one note at a time) with a CSO, a high pass filter and a lowpass filter absolutely amazing, a resonance that farts fire, a rising up 1LFO 50hz ( instead of 20 on many small analos) and a routing system with 2 ADSR which are available with the Kawai experiments can be many and varied.

UTILIZATION

No need for a manual analog. At worst you look at the screen! In Kawai everything is clear.

SOUNDS

This synth is simply amazing. He bluffed me personally as a kid and discovered MS20 has 10x more personality than most analos more expensive, even a Yamaha CS (5/10/15) does not happen at the ankle.

Side FX is a pure delight. Amateur series and animated TV series of science fiction you'll find most of the range on this bike.
For lovers of bass that strips your monitors and well you will not be outdone. The Kawai is a low, very low (no need to sub osc on this machine!) Absolutely pure and honest - it will not lace!, A powerful medium, a sharp whistle and personally I like it.
Finally leads to Vangelis is perfectly possible (I have programmed!) And coupled with a little reverb and a nice time you can spend hours crying at the beauty of sound and especially the low pass filter which really sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years, soon 3 years that I have this machine, I do not sell it. To those who are curious and not just the big names of analog go for it! because this machine is called Moog or other, it would clearly 800th minimum. I do not understand is why it is not more acclaimed.

Downside: no Arpe, no MIDI, no possibility to manage VST: A

A massacre.
Very good mono synth with a real personality. By comparing what is comparable it is worth 10/10 of its kind

UTILIZATION

a killing.
It is not easy

SOUNDS

a killer, a filter and exceptional pest, yet a single tilt, if only they dared to come out the same synth with 2 Osc .. there is little but the fact like no other, at this price, hurry! (While it is time)

OVERALL OPINION

a killer for a synth of this kind and especially at this price now a first choice without a doubt, although not controllable by CV .. It misunderstands the price of some HS who squeaker compared .. but this is just my opinion.
