«  kitsch but surprisingly »

Published on 03/13/14 at 02:36
Kawai G-MEGA is editable via the "DirectEdit" program that you can find on the net but does no extension
128 GM sounds uneditable
128 User
128 SP
it is not edited in sound diver (check)

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple and reminds surprisingly small racks in korg, moreover will compete this constructor was veiled at the time
edition stamps and filters is logical but made difficult because of the use of the wheel ... argl! my right thumb still remember
there 's has also two oscillators in certain patch which obviously limits the number of backup
no mono
Anyway amazing features: 32 multitimbral parts, mac edition temperaments taken to the rear ...
effects are spartan and maliciously planting
do not change the kind of effect while running a sequence: the sound is muted
one can assay the effect on all but the reverbs give color to all sounds

SOUNDS

The stamps are uneven and sound "small"
the sounds of the orchestra since c 'was at the time the orientation of this synth sound "flap-flap" obviously compared with banks sounds available today vst but it must be viewed in context
only vibraphone lot out of the game, your servant there spent many hours of total blast ... to take to Lionel Hampton!
pianos are nice at first (listening to the demo) but unusable passable electric pianos, basses are, after all exploitable without chorus?
some guitars are quite correct, the orchestral sounds of clarinet and oboe, even single out right in the middle of an orchestral passage loaded the sounds of strings tremolos by editing seriously are playable however brass are zero
timpani sound like a cannon and some percussion as triangles have some things very endearing
the drums are limited but very bright, I 'm am also used in one of my songs
128 sounds of the General Midi are limited and must be entered in the SP mode to find something to put in their mouths to find tablecloths and some original sounds
but it is not for the stamps that I have bought this product there is in this box, a hidden treasure: the resonant filter
it 's no that has sweep select the patch to account for the ability of the filter
fiddling at max settings I have created patches vyntages from stamps of organs completely transformed to ultimately have a sound very strange mellotron

OVERALL OPINION

I owned a few years ago and this synth, m 'am separated because he had a defect that made it unusable: the pitch of the sounds changed unexpectedly
I have bought because I 'had in nostalgia and considering the price of secondhand I have not hesitated
more that one n had no default height sounds
in the end, given the short sounds for c is not a case must be something else going on but I think you get the best out of each synth
color sounds all makes attaching and I will redeem this synth again for mellotron sounds crazy that we can identify
