Kawai K1 II Synthesizer - Part 5 - K1 II vs. Nil's K1v
video upload by Runningonair
"In this video I look at the differences between the recent Nil's K1v emulation and the original Kawai K1 II.
The K1v can be downloaded at:

Also, the video title track is created using just sounds from the K1 II (and a bit of production), giving you some idea of what can be achieved with this synth alone.

"It has some minor scracthes but it’s in great condition as you see in the pictures. It has a custom MIDI kit installed for the monophonic part and It was done for a great tech here in Berlin."

Casio CZ-101 49-Key Synthesizer

"The CZ-101 is a classic Casio digital synthesizer that uses Phase Distortion synthesis to shape sounds. You can Select between 8 waveforms which are then modulated by it's three 8 stage envelopes which control pitch, phase angle, and amplitude. This style of synthesis is similar to FM synthesis which gives them a character not unlike the Yamaha DX/TX line of synthesizers but at a much lower cost. It also features 8 note polyphony, 32 patches of memory (16 preset, 16 user writable), ring modulation, and vibrato with selectable waveforms for LFO like effects."

"This particular unit was imported by Klassic Keys GB from Japan (100V). Our Roland specialist tech gave it his attentions. This is what has been done:-
1) converted to 220/240Vac operation + NEW mains cord and plug fitted + PAT tested
2) cleaned key contacts, to ensure perfect triggering every time, staccato or whatever.....
3) fitted MIDI kit (from Netherlands), and tested operation thereof....
4) inspected everything "under the hood" ~ installed fresh internal battery, checked all connectors/tuning etc......dco fader (by bender) is a bit "lumpy" (still works), 3-click HPF ratchet control can "jump" on extreme setting, but works OK if moved gingerly. NOTE...this synth IS 40-y-old, and commands respect/gentle operation. ~ reloaded the 56 original factory "presets" via cassette (a vintage recording device from a half a century ago....ha, ha)...they can be used as a reference/starter point enabling you to create your own patches,.... the wonder of subtractive synthesis!
Condition:- really nice, overall. Keys are nigh immaculate (95% good?), main panel is nearly scratchless, with all the distinctive colourful lettering looking great. All push-switches, toggles & faders do their job without noise, and all LEDS work perfectly. "Wood" veneer is slightly damaged on some corners/rims (it usually is...), and the internal dust covers on the toggles are missing (no idea why...), but that is of little consequence. In summary, a cool, working example of one of THE most famous synths ever made; and should continue to impress for another 20 years? Copy manual will be supplied."

Original Novation BassStation Keyboard Synthesizer SN 0007531

"Before the famous Novation Bass Station Rack module came the small and portable Bass Station keyboard! This synthesizer uses digitally synchronized analog oscillators (DCO's) to reproduce the sounds of a monophonic dual-osc analog synthesizer with simple and intuitive controls via 17 knobs, 10 switches and 2 Moog-style pitch/mod wheels. Think EDP Wasp and ARP Odyssey. The Bass Station can faithfully reproduce analog bass sounds similar to a TB-303, Micromoog or Pro One synthesizer. The small keyboard and monophonic architecture set this keyboard up for strict bassline, lead synth lines, and synth fx. It also transmits MIDI continuous controller data from its pitch/mod wheels, frequency cutoff, resonance, filter modulation depth, env1 attack, decay and env2 attack and decay."
