Pic of a software editor below. Note the description states the K3 has 31 wavetables. It's actually 31 digital waveshapes. The K3 is not a PPG/Waldorf style wavetable synth where you can sweep through different waveforms in a wavetable. It's closer to the KORG DW8000 and Poly-800 with digital waveforms and analog filters. The K3 has SSM2044 filter chips. It's a beautiful sounding synth.

"Vintage Kawai K3 Wavetable Synthesizer with Analog Filters & Envelopes + Juno 106 Analog Chorus circuit. 31 amazing wavetables (mostly), and an additional one that can be programmed to your specs.

This thing was barely played and sat in climate controlled storage after its life at a 'IBM PC Lab'. The buttons are perfect, and I’d say it’s in A- shape cosmetically – pretty stellar for a 35+ year old synth."
