Kawai Synthesizers

Well, somebody already mentioned SoundDiver's K5 implementation
leaves... a bit to be desired. I know that SoundQuest's "MidiQuest"
has a K5 module, don't know how good it is. There's a lesser-known K5
editor, as well, by Terzoid Software called "NoiZe" for Windows. They
have a free 30-day trial that you can try. I rather liked it; I think
it's got a nicer design, although there are a few tricks to it, they
might have been because my K5's got a v1.0 firmware. Still. Sigh.
