Re: k1rII fault ?

Dang - I was just finishing a bonfire - realise I misread your post .. You have the rackmount version so no keyboard ... apologies.

Kawai K1ii | Vintage Synth Explorer



So it is like my K1r but with some extra multi timbral.


In which case you will like the Ctrl panel -- much easier than squinting at the display.

It has no effects according to the above article - the keyboard had it. This is similar to the K4 v K4r.

The r instead had extra channels which you could put thru an effects unit.


It is true that the lack of effects is a bit of a bummer. But hardware is cheap these days or one can use DAWs.


I was going to sell my K1r until I wrote the panel for it ... then I realized thanks to other posts you can fake analog like synths out of it and the AM unit is real crazy. So it gets switched on a few times a month now.
