Kawai K3 as a plugin | FB3 from Full Bucket (and it's awesome)

video upload by Espen Kraft

"I've got access to the work-in-progress FB3 from Full Bucket Music and it's fantastic. I love having the K3 in a plugin form and it's very close to my hardware.
At the time of this video it's not yet released, but I will link to it once it's out.

If you're looking for a editor and librarian for your K3/K3, hardware, I've made one recently. You can download it for free from my web shop here: https://espenkraft.com/b/6r5k7"

https://www.fullbucket.de/music/vst.html - not yet on their site as of this post, but check back later. You will also find other free soft synth emulations of classic vintage hardware synths, drum machines, and effects.

Additional SYNTH CITY Listings

See additional posts here for some demos.

"If you want bells and whistles, this synth's got it! This "The Pool" is in very good condition with very few signs of wear. Comes with its original box, manual and power cable as shown in the photos.

The Pool is a unique synthesizer concept featuring a full bi-timbral panel, four bi-timbral voice cards and a two-bus effects unit. The control panel houses a large 7-inch color capacitive touch screen, 79 potentiometers, 34 encoders and no less than 169 illuminated pushbuttons.

Each bi-timbral voice card features:

2 analog VCOs (type CEM3340) with wave mixer by VCAs, magnificent “natural” saturation beyond the unit gain accessible via modulations and morphers, sync by VCO or digital generator.

2 complex digital generators with classical waves, wavetables, soundfont, additive synthesis, euclidean generator and VCO ADC for complex operations like RING, FM or multiband formants with vowel presets, mixing by VCAs always with this beautiful “natural” saturation beyond the unit gain. You can import your wavetables using the WaveEdit application (). The import of your own soundfonts will be possible later.

Hardware Sync from VCO or Digital generator to VCO.

1 input for insertion of an external signal before each filter group.

2 groups of 2 VCFs (type CEM3320 and CEM3350), Lowpass 12/24 db/Octave, FM via VCO or digital generator for the 3320, Bandpass/

Highpass 12 db/Octave for the 3350, serial or parallel, mixes of the two filters and filter groups on each channel. Hardware FM from VCO or Digital generator to filter 3320.

Two analog envelopes (type CEM3310 with VCA CEM3360) with ajustable/modulable offset (perfect for drone mode) and modulable pan.

Two digital envelopes with adjustable exponentiality from ultra percussive to linear.

Three digital LFOS integrating complex waveforms. You can build your own modulations using the WaveEdit application ().

For each timbre/channel, the envelope VCA incorporates panning and adjustable offset, ideal for drone modes among others."

"We try to get these as often as possible. When we do we fully service them. We recapped this one and rebuilt the keyboard. It is a great synth. Sounds and plays amazing. The cherry on top is that it was signed by Bob Moog!! That is pretty rad. The case has been restained. But it is in great cosmetic condition otherwise. A true classic signed by a true classic."
