"This is one of the few additive synths ever made. The K5000 came out later and also offered additive synthesis, but doesn't sound as good to us as the K5m. If this doesn't sell soon, it'll become part of the insane collection of synths at The Synth Sanctuary electronic music studio in NYC."

"Groundbreaking synthesis, brought on the market in affordable package for the first time in 1987 by Kawai. Crystal clear sounds with real time control of up to 126 harmonics, and a very interesting sounding digital cutoff filter to really bring out those harmonics."

"The K5m rack-module version is basically the same as the K5 except that it has 126 adjustable harmonics and 4 assignable audio outputs and a stereo mix output. If you plan to use the K5 strictly as a sound source in an established MIDI studio, the K5M desktop module version is more compact and practical than the keyboard version."

"Tested and everything works EXCEPT all the internal sounds are gone, meaning all the program sounds basically sounds the same. Buttons, dials, midi, outputs works as they should. Just minor marks/scratches, sticker residue. Power cord included. Backlight may not be the brightest but it is readable on a lighted room - see photos."
Polyphony - 16 voices
Oscillators - Digital Harmonic Generator (DHG)
LFO - 6 waveforms, speed, delay, trend
Filter - Digital Dynamic Filter (DDF) with cutoff, slope, envelope amount, keyboard, velocity, aftertouch, independent 6-stage envelope; Digital Formant Filter (DFT) 11-band graphic eq
VCA - Dynamic Digital Amplifier (DDA) with independent 6-stage envelopes
Keyboard - 61 keys with "release velocity" and aftertouch
Memory - 48 patches internal, 48 patches external memory card, 48 multi-mode memories
Control - MIDI
Date Produced - 1987

Update: Someone wrote in questioning this listing for a number of reasons including the higher than normal price, especially considering the issue with volume slider, as well as the description being pulled from another site, and it stating these are easy to program. Ease of programmability of course is subjective, but I agree, owning a K5000s, a newer additive synth from Kawai, they are less intuitive to program than your standard subtractive analog. Regarding the listing being legit, one, the seller did not have to mention the issue with the volume slider but did, two, SN 115510 has not been listed here, so the images are new as far as I know, and three, when you buy through eBay, ALWAYS buy through eBay and abide by their rules. If you do, you will be covered by their buyer protection, if you don't you won't. It's as simple as that. As for the price, it is higher as you can see via a quick search on the site and checking other listings. And of course always check the seller's feedback. In short, always do your due diligence when buying online.
"The Kawai K5 offers all the sound-creating power of additive synthesis technology in an affordable, user-friendly format. This enables you to construct sounds from their harmonic components, the same way they are created in nature. With the K5, you can control the relative amplitude of up to 126 harmonic sine waves! This yields unprecedented clarity and accuracy for recreating natural sounds or developing your own unique timbres. And, because it is so natural, the KS's programming system will be easy for you to master. But that's just the beginning. The complex waveforms produced by harmonic manipulation can be passed through filters, amplifiers, LFOs, envelope generators and other processors with which you may already be familiar. These provide the kind of precise articulation control for which analog synthesizers are well-known. So you're getting the best of both worlds -- digital clarity and analog control in one comprehensive, performance-oriented package."

"There aren’t many lower priced synths from this era that do a similar kind of additive synthesis. It’s can create some very harmonically rich sounds, really unique.
It is in complete working condition. The LCD is very legible though not backlit. (Actually, you see a lot of sellers claiming the backlight is dead but I don’t believe the K5m was lamplit behind the foil originally? I could definitley be wrong about that though.)
It is in good physical condition. There is definitely rack rash, scuffing and scratching but it doesnt affect its functional condition and nothing is broken or missing. The rear connections can be unscrewed and moved from 'rack position’ to ‘tabletop position’ very easily."
Update: here's one that was clearly backlit.
