Kawai K5000R

See the description of K5000 on the same site

UTILIZATION

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy? Synthse the additive is far from being the easiest synthse use and program, is better directly through an editor type SoundDiver (a version exists for the family K5000).

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... I read the manual (PDF) and by explaining the functions of synths, we learn very little about the synthse additive, not so didactic trs.

SOUNDS

It's synthse additive combines multisamples PCM. The sound is dynamic but trs typ unique. Pads and effects are particulirement Russian trs scrolls.

Resynthse possibility of using SoundDiver.

A deprecated for a first synth as a can of dgoter DEFINITIONS synthse sound ... hehe

OVERALL OPINION

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ... Yes

Synthse additive synth and sample.
Sir this synth is working on 64 harmonic (in fact we have the choice to work on harmonics 1 to 64 or 65 128 of which are integer multiples of the fundamental).
Each patch can have up to 6 sources that we can choose mode or additive sample (the samples are not in ROM possibility to add even am).
Each harmonic possdent its own envelope 64 envelopes so grate for each source.
Possibility of making Morfing Multiple source harmonics modulated by an envelope that can be put in loop mode.
Added to this is a multimode filter LP / HP envelope attention if we push the rsonance that's saturated the filter, which can be very nice.
1 Formant Filter, sort of big-band equalizer 128 (this allows you to create filters originals) modulated by an LFO or envelope that you can also set loop mode.
A very complete another LFO to modulate what you want.
DCA with an envelope
1 DCO Controls the pitch with as its own envelope.
Of course some very UNESCORecords modulation matrix, the mono-poly with portamento finally the total what!
with each patch with effects 4 DIFFERENT routing algorithm reverb + a + a EQ. Effects found in any choruses, delay, distortion and overdrive of (avoid), rotary (nice), and also exiter Plutt Enhancer and indispensable to cap off his sounds.
1 Arpgiateur
4 multitimbral patch standard but not sufficient for this synth.
It's impossible to write all the settings to, but given the number that is very very full nay incredible.

UTILIZATION

Sensitive issue, not a synth for beginners really not his problem not only in the navigation menu DIFFERENT or in managing the parameters, but in use of the additive synthse.
Sometimes you spend two hours with nothing out really well and suddenly you go wham 3 sounds are beautiful.
There are soft on mac or pc I would say the cons essential and it is much easier.

SOUNDS

Very typ synthtique as we like, we really can do everything in its electro, acid line, good bass, lead, sulfur layer scalable, good keyboard sounds original (of drum & bass trance through rock and jazz fuzion that happiness.
In addition there really a dynamic rarely encountered in a synth.
So very good sound and original which is rare.

OVERALL OPINION

Synth for sound bites and programming is really a synthesis of the most original I've compared it with soft synth in but nothing comparable, the soft is really cheap, with the K5000 is the ribs.
