Kawai K1 VST: Audio Demo 2

A new audio demo is ready. I kept a lot of the old one but added some additional Singles from the ROM cards and a Vibraphone to demonstrate an AM preset.

Obviously, a big change is that the samples are now from the original K1m Wave ROM. Other than that, all the modulations are now properly implemented and I did a lot of A/B testing to match my real K1m. Without all of this, most of the new sounds (many of them being FX) wouldn’t even work.

Some reverb & EQ has been added, everything else is just the K1 VSTi

Virtual K1 as VSTi – Audio Demo 2

Sound List

  • 0:00 iA-5 Return Home
  • 0:22 Water Drama (K1 ROM card / Kawai PHm)
  • 0:38 iB-3 Jazz Harp
  • 0:46 ID-3 Vybes (Amp Mod demonstration)
  • 0:56 IA-5 Visitors (K1 aliasing demonstration)
  • 1:11 Hold a Key (K1 ROM card / Kawai PHm)
  • 1:19 IA-3 String Pad
  • 1:29 IC-7 Terminator

Bonus

I played around with some UI mockups. Completely work-in-progress of course. The lower section will look different to a real K1m as I want a better editing of course, with envelopes being displayed graphically etc.

Feedback is highly appreciated!
