Hello Helmut. Yes, the mentioned sounds are very organic. I applied internal reverb effect to cello sound, since by default, it is 100% dry. So both the raw waveforms and its effect engine are very assertive. Cheers :)
It was a monster when appeared, purposed to compete with M1, flagship on the market of the time. It was offered with Kawai sequencer (sold separately) to offer multiracking, but unfortunately these two gears together finally costed too much. I know noone who had purchased both machines ever. Anyway, I owned K4 and bought Yamaha V50, solid digital workstation based on DX series with built-in 8 track seqencer, so I could edit very rich arrangements using the two. V50 could create nice bass and metallic sounds, pcm drumset was very real, especially snare drum, while Kawai provided warm and deep pads, beautiful rich strings and nicely sampled cello and guitar sounds. Good point of using two machines is thus avoiding overrun of sound generators with too much polyphony when many notes are engaged. And more transparent sound colour in general.
Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience with this awesome synth. Yes, scarce polyphony is the only hindrance for 90's synths including DX7, SY77, K4, etc. Otherwise they all sound very rich.
@@musicaldracula2017 SY77 is exactly the gear I still own, mighty machine but in line with K4 considering sound architecture. Availability of free sounds online make it much more versatile and sequencer is an useful feature. Sounds for SY offered today are advanced, created by perfected software and provide much more fun than those from the times of its purchase. In set with few more modern keyboards it is more than enough for making arrangements and home production.
@@TrazomGV Yes, agree. K4 has a unique character and there is no modern incarnation, whereas SY77 has some decent soft and hard replacements, such as MODX. I used to have TG77 and I was upset about polyphony. I thought it was a true 32 poly machine, but it is not... Cheers
Very nice sounds! Love them
I agree :)
The Kawai definitely has some interesting sounds! Thanks for sharing :)
Very unique indeed. I will be loading other patches from different cards and explore more.
Thank you for passing by :/)
Hello my friend,...interesting demo. love the cellos, warmthones and the rock grand.-old sutcase, glass ep, super kx and new-galaxy.
love greetings

I'm currently after a Korg Opsix at the moment, but maybe after that, I should look into getting a K4r
You should...
