"NB: Certainly not intended to be musical!
This is to demonstrate some of the sonic potential of the Kawai K3m Synthesizer Module. It also give an idea of how well this synth responds to the control of a Behringer BCR2000. With every parameter of the K3m assigned to a knob or button on the BCR2000, it becomes an instantly accessible hands-on synth. This was recorded directly from the K3m stereo outs, with no external effects, EQ, compression or normalizing. Notes and arpeggios are being triggered by a Yamaha KX25 Controller keyboard."

"Fairly uncommon (it'd a bit of a stretch to call it rare) vintage hybrid analogue rack mountable version of the K3 keyboard synth. This predates Kawai's K1, K4 and K5, coming, as it does from 1986.

The main advantage this one has over the others in the 'K' series is that, apart from it's oscillators, it's all analogue. In fact it uses the same SSM2044 filter chips as Korg's Mono/Poly, PolySix and Trident. More significantly this was the same filter used in the PPG Wave, which also used digital oscillators. This is why the K3 is sometimes referred to as the poor man's PPG...

Another great aspect to the K3m is its ability to be tweaked in real-time by a midi control surface, such as the Behringer BCR2000... [or an iPad]"
