Ebay Description:
The Kawai K5000S is a 61 key (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). Also, a drum channel (253 samples) has a dedicated filter and amp (ADSR envelope) and auto-bend. 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), 40 track (SMF compatible) sequencer (with auto-phrase generation and looping), and dual MIDI interfaces are also included.
