Curious what you use the K4 for?

I seriously lusted after one back in the day, but never owned one and don't see many people using them these days.

Because NO 2 guitars are the same ..... I can sell my Kronos and buy one in 3 years time ... it will be the same !!!

If i sell my Strat and by another one ... oh my it would be different on so many levels ... Only minute levels agreed but in terms of playing and teaching it would take a while to get used to a new guitar.

I always say that I will never my Korg Karma because this is my first synth. Maybe the Kronos, depending of what the synth/workstation market will evolve.

I had a Kawai K4, my second PCM synth (the first was a K1m tabletop module). It wasn't expensive and sounded quite well with its digital resonant filters...

Here's a song from the early nineties. Most sounds are from the K4 - percussion, sound FX, evolving waves, pads, synth brass, etc.
(and with an odd ARP Odyssey solo at the end...)
It was sequenced on a Yamaha QX5 and recorded/mixed on analog equipment, with no much experience at the time...

This one is pure KORG (01/Wfd, 01R/W, 03R/W, X3, Wavestation SR):

(Except for the DX7S solo in the middle...)

Ok I'll Play:

Would never sell:
Korg 01/Wr: After selling my 01/W pro to get an EX5 (Which was nice, but not all it was cracked up to be so I traded for a Motif shortly after) I regretted it and was what I played in some of my formative years and I really loved the patches I had accumulated during the time I had it.

Today I just noticed what appears to be the 01/w Waveshaping stuff in the KRONOS! Now if it wasn't so much damn work I could possibly find legacy waveforms in the Kronos and recreate the patches. Sadly, that'll never happen due to time. However if Korg ever adds 01/w Legacy capability that will actually READ 01/w patches (Or a patch convertor) I'd then sell it assuming it works as expected.

Kawai K5000s: It's just really unique, is a great feeling keyboard and is it's own thing.

Yamaha FS1R: Well MAYBE I'd sell it with Mod-7 in the Kronos. This machine has a lot more algorithms than the original DX stuff, so who knows. If I could successfully port all the patches to where it was redundant I'd sell.

Ensoniq ESQ-1:My first synth! Still works, still cool and quirky, and frankly it's practically worthless on the used market. Might as well kepp her!

Probably will sell:
Roland JD-990 w/VS card:Bought it on a whim from forum hype. Some real cool sounds, but I rarely use it. The technology and layering capabilities are REALLY limiting at times. If I can emulate in Kronos, might sell.

Definitely will sell:
Korg M50-61: Sample the few sounds from it the Kronos doesn't have and sell it once the Kronos is ready to take it's place on the Gigs.

Will never sell my Korg T3EX! It's my 1st proper synth and I still use it for gigging Smile

I regret selling my DW8000. I sold it for a profit but I loved that synth. I also regret selling my Z1 with 18 voice expansion. I also got a good 2nd hand price for it but I was totally under utilising it when I decided to sell it. I realised what I was missing when it was gone! Sad
