Kawai K3m

The Kawai K3m is a 6 voice synthesizer with DCOs (digitally controlled oscillators), 23 waveforms, and VCF (voltage controlled filters). It sounds similar to other DCO/analog filter synths of 1986 like the Korg DW-8000 or Roland MKS70. Its settings can be changed smoothly through sysex. Our K3m comes with a cartridge providing patch memory for 50 additional patches, or a total of 100 patches. Watch a demo.

This instrument is available for use at our studio in Long Beach, Ca for playing and recording. Contact us to book your time.
