Synopsis:
Rack version without macroprogrammer Architecture Class: Additive-Rompler.
Ebay Description:
The Kawai K5000S is a 2U rack (velocity and pressure sensitive) 32 voice multitimbral synthesizer, featuring six source channels and amplitude modulation. Each source channel has an additive (64 harmonics) or PCM (122 samples) source, resonant low pass digital filter (DCF) and amp (DCA), and dedicated (4 stage) EGs for pitch, filter, and amp. Additionally, each additive source has a dedicated (128 band) formant filter (DFF), (4 stage) harmonics and filter envelopes, and DFF envelope LFO (saw/triangle/random waveforms). A global LFO (saw/sine/triangle/square/random waveforms), portamento, variable preset memory (256 max, unless expanded), 3.5" DSHD (DOS format) disk drive, 4 multi-effects processors, extensive modulation capabilities, stereo sub outputs, arpeggiator (11 patterns, 10 modes), and MIDI are also included.
