Well the auction price may be a bit high but the link to the manual leads to ALL of Kawai's manuals if you need one of those
ReplyDeleteI snagged the K5000R and XD5 manuals from there
see http://www.kawaius-tsd.com/OM/ to get to the top of the manual library
Hats off to Kawai for maintaining the documentation
That does seem to be a rather high price indeed.
ReplyDeletei have a K5000s in pristine condition that i paid less than half that price for several years ago, and i've been completely unable to sell it.
Software synths have made this kind of synth really quite unattractive to a massive portion of the (uninformed) synth buying public, for various reasons.
It's sad that digital synths do seem to depreciate in value so much so quickly.
Those of you who own a K5000, what's been your experience with creating patches on them? The K5000 is on my short list of "synths I'll own before I'm dead". I've seen them occasionally for $400-500, but, of course, never when I have that kind of cash burning a hole in my pocket.
ReplyDeleteThe "over 1,000 parameters per patch" claim doesn't particularly scare me in terms of understanding how to make patches, but does sound like it could take hours to tweak an individual patch.
