Why? Because the K3 is a bizarre, beautiful hybrid. It combined with digital additive oscillators . This means it has the gritty, warm, unstable filter of an analog polysynth (a Curtis CEM3372 filter, to be exact) driven by 128 digital harmonic partials per voice.
The K3 flips the script courtesy of its . Each oscillator is built from up to 8 harmonics (partials), drawn from a library of 128. You are essentially creating your own wavetable on the fly.
Introduction: The Unicorn of the Mid-80s In the pantheon of vintage synthesizers, certain names trigger instant recognition: the Yamaha DX7, the Roland Jupiter-8, the Sequential Prophet-5. But lurking in the shadows of 1986 is a dark horse that has recently garnered a cult following: the Kawai K3 .
