Note the listing states the K3 is a wavetable synth, however it's not in the same sense as the PPG, Waldorf, and Ensoniq implementations where you can scan through waveforms in a wavetable. On the K3 you select a static digital waveform which gets process through an analog filter per voice, much like on KORG's DW8000. The K3 has an SSM based analog filter vs. CEM. Many consider the SSM to be smoother sounding. I believe the K3 has rudimentary additive synthesis which allows you to create a single user waveform. This is a nice sound digital analog hybrid.
