128 band) is almost not worth mentioning and is fairly useless compared to the K5000. The limited version on the K5 (11 band vs. Secondly, the 128 band formant filter in the K5000 additive engine is incredibly useful in creating interesting additive sounds. The basic synth structure is actually fairly similar to the K1 - you have 6 sources each of which can be an additive digital wave or pcm wave. The PCM samples are very helpful in that regard. As another poster mentioned, you can't detune partials so it's pretty much impossible to generate inharmonic sounds using only the additive engine. That said, if you go the Kawai direction I would strongly recommend a K5000 over a K5 for the following reasons:įirst, the K5000 includes PCM samples which are very helpful in constructing patches. I don't have any experience with the VZ10 and can't speak to it. So you can see, I'm leaning towards VZ, so if there's some killer reason to go for K5, which is of course some people's favourite secret weapon, then please let me know. I'm wondering whether additive is best left to software or my FZ1, as to be honest it sounds tedious to program and I think I'll get quicker weird results with the VZ.
Side note.What do the different noise waveforms sound like? I hear one is pitched? The Casio, I guess, can do 8 partial additive anyway with the 8 lines you can mix, and more in multi mode, plus it has phase modulation and ring mod (my ❤️) it also has numerous waveforms. I like Kawai, I have a K1, K11 and XD5 and love them, though part of that attraction is crusty samples through ring mod, and therefore I'm guessing the sine wave based K5 won't sound like any of them and might not be insane enough for me. That's why it's kinda hard to pick - they sound like siblings! The sounds include those cool 80's fake choir sounds, DX-y pianos, String Pads, and the odd harsh weird effect.
Casio is iPD, K5 is additive, yet both sound remarkably similar from YouTube videos. Could you please weigh in and let me know which one you think is best. I've decided my next purchase will be one of these synthesizers.
