"The Best Keeps Getting Better

What's new in version 4?

Almost everything!
We've rebuilt the engine from the ground-up, added more synths, more presets, more effects, more filters, more modulation, a dedicated browser, a second fully-customizable layer for creating hybrid and blended timbres, an all-new smart suggestion engine that helps you quickly find similar sounds, a more powerful arpeggiator/phraser, bus effects, native MPE support, and more!

Real Hardware Sounds There is something unmistakable about the sound of a real hardware synth, from subtle differences between voice circuits and drift to the varied way filters bite into the sound; there's a distinct character and energy. Synth Anthology 4 delivers the authentic and uncompromising hardware sound with all the conveniences of a modern software instrument.

Every piece of hardware represents a unique creative vision, sonic character, innovations, and strengths. Whatever you're looking for, from analog to digital, vintage classic to future classic, you will find it here. Synth Anthology 4 delivers an incredible collection of hardware, every major manufacturer, every type of synthesis, every era, 200 synthesizers in all.

You won't find a more complete collection anywhere else."

KAWAI XD-5 WALK THRU

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Brian Comnes

"This video documents the Kawai XD5 I'm selling on Reverb, enjoy, its not just a drum box"



via this auction

"Kawai XD-5 percussion synthesizer module in excellent condition with DC16 RAM card, power supply and full documentation including schematics.

Be sure to check out the video walk thru made with this actual unit for sale. This synth is more than a drum box!

This is an awesome drum synth module that has 256 waveforms, four of which can be combined to create a single drum or synth sound.

You build an array of 64 patches, from there you assign them to a "kit" spanning 88 keys and save it. You can have 16 Kits ready to rock.

It has great resonant lowpass filters and envelopes for shaping the sounds and is excellent for techno, electro and industrial drums, basslines and leads. For effects, a delay type effect is possible as well as a ring-modulator.

Patches can be directed to stereo out or 6 individual outs . Directing your kicks to a separate out and then to a compressor really makes them punchy.
There are 32 digital oscillators, 256 waveforms (16-bit, 44.1kHz resolution) comprised of
41 DC (Digital Cyclic) and
215 CM waveforms,
16 note polyphony,
64 user patches,
16 user drum kits,
a 16 x 2 character backlit LCD display screen, 2-space rack mountable

This XD-5 is in great shape and comes as pictured with a photocopy of the Owner's Manual, Patch List (Factory Preset), Wave List / MDI Data Format manual
includes a 12V wall wart power supply."

These shared the same body as the K4r. Curious if it had the same synth engine but with drum samples instead of synth samples.

Additonal Selected Tracks From Synthesizers

Kawai XD-5 Drum Machine Digital Synthesizer Percussion Rock/FX ROM Voice Card

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

One of those obscure items from synth history. This is the first one to be posted on the site. Via the listing:

"I used this in my Kawai XD-5 drum module a long time ago and have since sold it, which I regret because it was a great sounding unique programmable drum module which sounded awesome....especially with its resonant filter which responded to velocity

I was hoping to buy another XD-5 at some point, which never happened, so I am not using this card anymore and it is of no use to me without an XD-5... so, If you have an XD-5 it could be useful to you.

It is a Sound Source Unlimited ROM card 'Rock/FX' Performance Voice Card with presets on it...64 single patches, 16 Kits and 16 output patches...if I remember correctly"
