Uncovering the Secrets of the Kawai K3 Vintage Synthesizer - CTRLR Sound Design
video upload by Vulture Culture
"In this video, we'll take a deep dive into sound design with the Kawai K3, a vintage analog digital hybrid synthesizer from 1986. But instead of using the limited onboard controls, we'll be using a CTRLR panel to take advantage of the full potential of this synth.
We'll start by exploring the unique additive synthesis capabilities of the K3, which allows you to layer up to 32 different harmonics to create incredibly complex sounds. With the CTRLR panel, we'll be able to adjust each waveform's parameters individually, giving us unparalleled control over our sound design.
But what really sets the K3 apart from other synths is its warm, analog filter. We'll spend some time discussing the nuances of this filter and how to get the most out of it using the CTRLR panel.
Whether you're a seasoned synth enthusiast or just starting out, this video is packed with tips and tricks for getting the most out of the Kawai K3. So grab your headphones and join us for an in-depth look at one of the most versatile vintage synths out there!"

Note the K3 does not allow you to sweep through wavetables like PPG and Waldorf wavetable synths. The "wavetable" is more like a PCM single cycle sample based synth where you select a specific digital waveform. I owned one and did sound good. With the SSM filters it had a presence other PCM sample based synths lacked. I beleive there was also an additive synthesis aspect to it where you could create your own waveforms similiar to the Korg DSS-1 - see this video.
"Classic vintage hybrid wavetable synth with an analog filter and vac.
Membrane has been freshly replaced with the unique and stylish PPG inspired deep blue one. You will be hard pressed to find a K3 looking this sweet! It is missing the volume slider cap.
The K3 is a wavetable synthesizer. It has 32 waveforms, some of which are samples of acoustic instruments like piano and percussion as well as some unique waveforms. By combining two of these waveforms you can create unique new sounds or add a twist to a traditional sound. Since there are only 32 of these waveforms, the K3 also features a programmable digital waveform where you can tweak the harmonic content of a waveform allowing for added flexibility and range of sounds.
What's really neat about the K3 is that (unlike the K1) it has analog filters and envelopes! So although the sound may be digital at first, it sure does get warmed going through the filter. The low pass resonant filter even has its own envelope generator. There's also a high pass filter and a highly flexible LFO. The K3 is an interesting synth, nicely bridging the gap between the analog and digital domain of vintage synthesizers."
