I'm still discovering new ways to use my K-series synths, but let's see..

I like using the K1rII for gritty digital pads, but it shines for a
few other things. It makes a nice unfiltered analog sawtooth lead
sound and a passable nice 88 800 000 registration Hammond organ.

The K3 has some nice epiano sounds, a killer mono sine lead, and some
other pretty cool keyboard sounds. I just read a Sound on Sound
magazine article that suggests it's a really good Hammond tonewheel
organ sound generator, too. I like it for pads, but...

It's my K4r that I consider the killer pad machine. Sweepy skwonky
resonant pads. Oh, and a half-decent quirky edrum set, too. The K4r
does some fun leads, if you're looking for something different than
the analog monosynth sound.

I'm still figuring out what my K5m is good for. Abstract light
electronic sequenced arpeggiation, maybe? Complex sine pads? I haven't
been able to see what other people are doing with theirs because I
haven't found any user patches that Kawai themselves didn't put out...
