It ships with a whopping 32 MB of sample ROM memory which is expandable up to 128 MB using four internal ROM slots!

P2P | 26.09.2016 | 408 MB

The K5000 was Kawai’s top of the line music workstation digital synthesizer when it was released back in 1996. It’s a bold and elegantly designed synth with a large LCD display, realtime controls and incredible sounds! The look and functionality is rivals the competition from the time…the Korg Trinity and Kurzweil K2500. Programming sounds with the K5000 can be a breeze (once you learn how) although it has over 1,000 parameters per patch! That’s plenty to play with. It combines additive synthesis and PCM sampled waveforms for you to layer and combine to design a whole range of sounds. Plenty of LFO modulation, filters and envelope controls allow you to shape and morph your sounds further. On-board multi-effects add the final touch of life to your sounds.

The Trinity’s sounds come out of a 24MB ROM chip with 48kHz multi-samples of about 375 sounds and 258 drums. You can even add an expansion board of Prophecy sounds and Z1 sounds! There’s a good digital multi-mode filter with hi/low/band pass, band reject, resonance and more. There’s also 110 effects for adding life to your sounds…up to 8 simultaneous insert effects and 2 master effects.
