Two oscillators, three switchable vintage filters, ring mod, sample-and-hold, and that famously twitchy interface that rewards anyone willing to wrestle with it. It does fat basses, screaming leads, and a galaxy of R2-D2 bleeps. Add USB and MIDI to the classic CV\/Gate and it slots into a modern rig without losing an ounce of its 70s attitude.

Instead of starting from samples, the K5000W builds every tone from up to 64 individual harmonics per source, then blends in PCM waves, runs it all through a notorious self-oscillating 24dB filter, and finishes with on-board effects, a 40-track sequencer and a disk drive. The result is a sound palette nothing else makes: glassy, metallic, evolving and gorgeously digital. Hard to find, and quietly appreciating as additive synthesis gets rediscovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Additive Synthesis:\u003c\/strong\u003e build timbres from up to 64 harmonics per source, impossible on a sampler.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditive Plus PCM:\u003c\/strong\u003e blend harmonic sources with PCM waves for hybrid sounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThat Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 24dB resonant filter famous for wild self-oscillation, plus a 128-band formant filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Workstation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40-track sequencer, floppy drive and multi-effects on board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRare and Rising:\u003c\/strong\u003e a short three-year production run makes clean examples genuinely scarce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENRE \/ USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbient, soundtrack and experimental work, where additive builds textures no sampler can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvolving pads, bells, glassy leads and harmonically rich, metallic tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound design and scoring, with hands-on control over every harmonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA self-contained workstation with sequencer and effects for full productions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Synth guides single the K5000 out as one of the very few commercial synthesizers ever built on additive synthesis, prized by sound designers for timbres impossible on sample machines and for its notorious self-oscillating 24dB filter, with prices climbing as the format gets rediscovered. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dreyandersson.com\/music-production-terms\/kawai-k5000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead more in the K5000 guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Advanced Additive (AIS) workstation, 61 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthesis: additive (up to 64 harmonics per source, up to 6 sources) blended with PCM; GM compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyphony: 32 voices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter: 24dB resonant (self-oscillating) plus 128-band formant filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects: 4 algorithms (32 effects) plus reverb and graphic EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequencer: 40-track MIDI sequencer with floppy drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtras: Auto Phrase Generator, 100+ styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains: Japanese units are 100V; confirm voltage (a step-down may be required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kawai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49819621327087,"sku":null,"price":12500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_3590.jpg?v=1781692982"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/collections\/komarov-egor-srD1kUfvV_0-unsplash-650px.jpg?v=1749126966","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/collections\/analog-synths.oembed?page=2","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
