The mother of all packages arrived at my home - 23 kg of additive Synth mayhem. Yet again it is Halloween, for this year's special. In the vain of a film score such as, The Lost Boys, Bladerunner and Dune a bit of Synthwave! Made with ubiquitous soundscaping and ambient advanced additive Synthesiser aka the Kawai K5000s from 1996.
This happens to be one of those rather unique Synth's that somehow time has forgot. Even though it has a quite a following, a cult following. Rightfully so, as to this today no other machine or software can make the sounds that this device can achieve. By its nature and its vast set of parameters to tweak it is something of a dark horse.
Whether it trots or gallops, it will bring you only a wild ride! Certainly a trill while reins must be held tightly when it comes to the resonates filter. The digital resonates filter has the surprise ability to take off. So ensure to hold on tightly and tweak lightly. The keyboard of the Kawai K5000s naturally features aftertouch but this isn't where it excels. It's the macro controls and user assignable controls for the patch that sauces things up. On live performance it allows the user to take a patch and bring the listener on a tonal rollercoaster into oblivion and back again.
