Kawai K3 – a rare hybrid synthesizer

Kawai K3
DELAY is for the LFO, but it also modifies the AUTO BEND function of the oscillator section, too. That’s a great
feature, good for expressive synth soli.
The LFO in general affects the oscillators (vibrato), the VCF and the VCA.
Performance
We have already spoken of velocity, aftertouch and other strong keyboard functions. Sadly, the rest of the
instrument’s performance section is not that comprehensive. The K3 commands just one lonely wheel. And that’s for
pitch bending only, adjustable in semitones.
