Re: Re: Roland GR55 - First Impressions review

hi-

Anyone  know that Kawai K1 module?

not sure if you're familiar with the ethereal/goth band Lycia, but the K1 is a staple of their "sound". more or less all the synth sounds on their early albums are sourced from it. 

i had one for many years. it's got some pretty cool pad/choir sounds, and it has some sort of D50-esque 'wave sequencing' capacity, which mostly sounds really dated (like, really 80's). it's not a "go to" synth, but has a nice flavor every once in a while. i think they're super super cheap these days too. 

K1 (synth), K1r (rack) and K1m (desktop module) all drive the same sound engine.

hope that's vaguely helpful...
