Kawai Synthesizers

i have all the modfx bar the metavox but i picked up
most of them for 20 english quid or so as they were
being discontinued
bitrman mostly supplies distortion and ring mod
if that is the price now used its not worth it
although if you already have several modfx
then the value of one more is kind of higher
most of the fx could be achived by vst with 
sfx machine lite combined and decimator bit crusher
plugs in which are free
in theory one might be better off using the fx
section of a synth although i have never got far
that way...still an mfb lite synth is a fully
functional filter and a monophonic synth
for only 50% more than the bitrman 
given that a k1 has quite lo fi qualties to start with
the benefits of a bitrman are not so clear as for
things with 16 bit you and besides some patches in the
k1 can create these kinds of effects
