Kawai K4

“Excellent condition late 80’s additive synth. I have owned this K4 for years, but haven’t been using it much lately. Have the power supply and original owner’s manual. Everything works as it should, has some deep editing abilities. I don’t see a lot of these around anymore (usually see the rack version, which I’ve also had), and usually they are in Japan. Inexpensive way to get into additive FM synth, with a full 61 key bed.

I have sold & shipping many synths over the years and this one will be carefully packaged and shipped. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Kawai K4

“The Kawai K4 is a sample-based digital synth that can make some interesting sounds. You can stack sounds with its multitimbral feature and warm things up with the filter. If you’re looking for industrial or lo-go types of sounds, this is a good synth to explore.

This particular model is in good shape with normal signs of wear (light scratches and scuffs). The display is still bright and legible. The keys, wheels, buttons, and sliders all work as they should. The only thing to note is the internal low-battery warning (pictured), so I’d advise replacing that soon. Please refer to the images for details.

The K4 comes with its original hard case. The case itself is a bit rough. There are scratches, peeling, and adhesive residue (from the previous owner), but no cracks or holes to note of. You can say it’s definitely done its job protecting the cargo.”

“Vintage KAWAI K4 16-bit Digital Synthesizer Keyboard.

Late 1980’s Kawai K-4 for your 1980’s tribute band, nostalgic rock band, 1980’s movie soundtrack sound source or similar. This was Kawai’s version of the popular Roland D-50. It has very usable organic sampled sounds, strings, pianos etc. The keyboard powers up and plays but the B2 key needs contact cleaning and won’t play until that is done. I also have ROM cards for it as well to add more programs/sounds. I have an old case for it as well that I can include. The case needs a new handle that’s easy to replace.”

Kawai K4

“Most of the capacitors on the main board have been replaced with low ESR 105C Panasonic, and I replaced the 1uf electrolytes with much improved film to further reduce noise in the overall circuit. I replaced the NJM4556D headphone opamp with JRC2068DD which has faster slew rate and higher bandwidth. All these updates added more clarity on the high end (while still keeping the 16 bit K4 character) and with the mods it sounds better than the original K4 when I did a direct comparison against the unmodified one.

I replaced the LCD display with a much better one and installed a 10k trimmer resister. To adjust the display brightness simply insert a screwdriver in the + slot of the trimmer resister and gently turn however I already adjusted it to the best luminosity. I have also performed this modification to my other K4s since it’s a great improvement over the original display.

I installed a new volume slider potentiometer. It is now much smoother sliding than the original. And I also installed the latest Version 1.4 OS chip, purchased new.

I have found much (but certainly not all!) of what the K4 is capable and will keep the patches I designed after the circuit upgrade.

There are individual buttons to select or mute each layer which means that parameter access/sound design is relatively quick. Immediate muting lets you quickly hear the layer you are working on which is important for sound design. The K4 excels at resonant transcendent beautiful digital crystalline pads and the resonance is so high and fizzy that it can devolve into sizzling distortion so I never use maximum but it makes for a very interesting unique sound.

“For sale is my Kawai K4 synthesizer. It is in full working order and great condition for it’s age. There are a few marks here and there but overall I would say 7/10 for cosmetic condition. A few buttons need a bit of a firmer press but all working correctly.

This is a fabulous synth for Lofi music production and it is renowned for having a great resonant filter. Whilst the pianos leave a lot to be desired the pads and filter sweeps really make up for it! A very underrated synth.

It comes with a generic power supply, print out of the user manual and I have the last O.S 1.4 chip which is an easy socketed procedure so no soldering. I also purchased the Greytsounds patch collection sysex files. I found loading them via the free midi-ox application a breeze and there are some stunning patches in each bank. These will be emailed to winning bidder as the 7 bank files are no more than 200kbytes.”
