Kawai Synthesizers

I believe the main difference between the K1r and the K1rII is that
the mkII has a PCM drum section. (It's nothing very exciting.) Other
than that, the K1rII has a slightly different (newer?) BIOS. 

Cool, I also have an Oberheim Matrix 1000 and a Wavestation EX. Good
instruments. Ironically enough, I like my K1 for a Leslie B3 organ
patch it can produce. But, it absolutely rules for lo-fi digital synth
textures and ambience.
