The following appears to come from the K3 Owners Manual.

"A New Approach toSound Synthesis

The Kawai K-3 synthesizer combines wave sampling technologywith true synthesis ability for a totally new approach to sound generation. ltstarts by constructing the waveform for a digital sound source from itsharmonic components. (There are 32 such waveforms built into the synthesizer,but you can program your own by assigning relative amplitudes for any 32 of thefirst 128 harmonics.) The audio signals from each oscillator are then combinedand passed through filters, LFOs, envelope generators, and other componentsusually found only in today's more advanced analog synthesizers.

Wave sampling yields very faithful reproduction of theoriginal because it produces a highly accurate description of sound produced bya piano, trombone, bass guitar, or any other instrument. The technology used,however, calls up a fixed sample and plays it back in a fashion not unlike atape recorder. Using such a fixed sound source sacrifices control over thearticulation, the way in which the sound varies over time after the musicianfirst strikes the key. Analog synthesizers, on the other hand, generallyprovide greater control over articulation and other parameters required toproduce a more "live" sound — only to lose sampling accuracy and theability to easily program the synthesizer to emulate an existing instrument.The Kawai K-3 synthesizer's digitally programmed sound sources give you thebest of both worlds: lifelike samples and complete control of articulation.

Other Features

The Kawai K-3 synthesizer has several other advancedfeatures as well:
· o Programmable velocity and aftertouch (pressure),that allow you to personalize keyboard response for each tone patch
· o Programmable stereo chorus and delay forcreating tone patches with realistic, studio quality effects
· o Weighted keyboard for a professional"feel" and accurate touch response
· o Slot for a removable memory cartridge, anexternal storage device which holds 50 additional tone patches
· o Advanced MIDI implementation including supportfor “system exclusive" messages which expand the control possible withthis world standard interface.
· o Analog and digital sound synthesis – the best ofboth worlds!"

Reverse Keys Roland SH-101 Synthesizer with Nova Mod

"1. The lower 7 keys are intermittently unresponsive likely due to dust accumulating as this is quite an old synth.
2. There is also a couple of screws missing from the base plate but the keyboard still hold together fine
3. The LFO speed fader does not change the lfo speed as far as i can tell now.

Otherwise everything else works really well but be warned it requires either a repair or someone who knows what they're doing to fix it.

NOVA MOD FEATURES:

• VCF FM: Amazing new sounds are now added through this feature. Six FM sources are
available.
• LFO Clock Input: Syncing the Arpeggiator and LFO to external drum modules and
sequencers is now possible. As well, interesting feedback loops can be created.
• PW Modulation Source Selection: Now you can choose a pulse width source. It is
independent from the LFO’s waveform setting. OSC sources are included.
• Pulse width to near 0%: Pulse width effects are now made more extreme and powerful.
• External Audio Input: The ability to do FM of the VCF by an external audio source or to
simply route a signal into the audio path is now provided. Don’t forget feedback loops!!
• VCF CV Input: Just plug in a foot pedal or a CV from a midi converter and your SH-101
will sing!
• LFO Rate Scalar: Ever hear a bell sound out of a 101? Try this on Hi!! Want a really slow
sweep...you got it too!
• 1/4” CV/Gate In/Out Jacks: Aren’t we all tired of those miniphono plugs? They should
only exist on walkmans"

KORG volca feedback house session

"Well, thing is that I like feedback, a lot!... so i played a bit with the feedback settings on the echo shifter and jomox t-resonator almost tipping over creating a shimmer and feedback ringing all over the place. This tune is the result.

Listening back on the track, i might have wanted to push the feedback down a little, but it being live i cant really edit anything post recording .. so this is what you get.

Live session as always, no multi tracking.. press play and go! :) I hope you like it !
