Kawai Synthesizers

Anybody out there use on of these fun hardware sequencers with their 
K1 or something? Clearly, it is a superior machine, but I need an 
english manual. I only have the Japanese manual, and that's just not 
cutting it for me. Does anyone know where to get one? Thank you, 
Kawai synth enthusiasts.

The files section of this yahoo group contains the K1 docs in the
format of a zipped PDF of the English docs.

Yeah, thanks, but I'm looking for an English manual for the Q-80 
sequencer. I don't even have a K1. Anybody out there know where to 
get a PDF? Aparently you can buy a paper copy from Kawai USA for $32, 
but that's as much as the sequencer itself cost.

Ah, okay, context of the paragraph was apparently misleading. You
might actually want to try calling their support center; they've
e-mailed me product PDFs in the past, free of charge. Do share the
Q-80 docs on the file space here if you find a copy.

Awesome deal on the seqeuencer!

Hey Chuck,

welcome to the group!

By all means, upload any q80 documents you've got. There's now a Q80
folder in the files section, so just place the files in there.

so yeah great sequencer...although ive always wished it had 32 mute 
buttons instead of a shift button to move between banks. i use mine 
for dance music and it takes a bit of planning to move to the next 
section of the song if i use say, the first bank for an intro, 2nd 
bank for a breakdown , 3rd chorus etc. and if you inadvertently mute 
all the tracks it stops playing! aside from that its great for the 
price


chuck

Holy shit, you did it! And it was in such an obvious place too... I 
see posts all over the internet asking "anybody got a PDF for 
this?", but there it was. Yes, clearly it is a superior machine. I 
bought it for the mute buttons and the interesting looping 
abilities, and I've had lots of fun so far. Anywyas, I got to go so 
thanks very much and i hope this helps lots of K synth users too!!
