Hello! I just got my K3 today, my third Kawai. My K1rII and K4r have
been very positive experiences, and the synth power they bring to the
table is incredible for the price. I got the K3
(instead of the K3r) as an excuse to finally own a MIDI keyboard with
aftertouch, although I'm going to have to practice more finesse-- I'm
not used to modulating my downward pressure on the keys! It feels odd
to control my other synths with it after five years of using another
keyboard.

The K3 has a very intriguing synth architecture. I find the
programming interface much more accessible than the K1/4 series (though
I think I'll stick with the Caged Artist K3 editor for wave editing!).

Actually, the additive synthesis portion of the synth is very
intresting. Has anyone else focused on wave 32? I'm disappointed I can
only use one unique custom-wave at a time in a patch. If I had the memory
expansion, could I create a patch that used two?

I guess it'd be nice to own a manual. This is a bit of an architecture
jump from a K1 or K4. Heh. K1, K3, K4. Now I just need to pick up a
K5.... :)

Well done! I have a K1m amounst my collection. It has a nice ring modulation. The K3 has filters. I wonder, does the K5 have both ring modulation and analog filters?
I'll have a look in my manual regarding that question of the custom waves, that's a tough one.
