TheBro Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Any users here on the forum? Has some very nice pads. I had a decent play with it yesterday. Its a big old synth well biggest synth I've ever owned!! Anyways check out some videos of me playing it badly ha ha. One thing I noticed is that nothing seemed to change when using the joystick or am I missing something??? :0 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVK6pBl66X/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVfPijF0Y1/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Edited July 1, 2019 by TheBro Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/97245-bought-a-kawai-k1-o/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 "One thing I noticed is that nothing seemed to change when using the joystick" Looking at the manual it seems you have to press the 'stick' button (bottom right button on the top keypad) and choose to specifically enable it via the menu Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.

TubularCorporation Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) I've had a K1M for years, love it. And yeah., you have to manually turn the stick on every time you power it up, it doesn't save that setting for some reason. It's apparently very easy to add CV control of the stick but I never bothered.

TubularCorporation Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 you can find sysex dumps of all the Kawai expansion cards (IIRC Kawai officially released them as free downloads even), and it's worth checking them out because you can ho a lot deeper with that thing than the simple architecture makes it seem like you could.
