Kawai K1 | A Digital Lo-Fi Beauty!


video upload by Espen Kraft

"Kawai K1 from 1988. A wonderful lo-fi digital synthesizer with lots of waveforms you can mix and match within 4 independent oscillators. By many referred to as a poor man's PPG or Prophet VS.

The main feature most seemed to be missing from the K1, was a traditional filter. There is no filter onboard. Kawai did remedy this with the K4 that came out a little later.

All of the music I've made in this video is coming directly out of the Kawai K1m you see in the video. Multitracked. All the songs and sound examples have been mixed and mastered. That means my complete mixing workflow, including plugin and outboard effects and analog summing. See my other mixing videos for details about the gear I use.

The patches are a mix of presets, customized presets and my own patches."
