[Free] Introduction of Nils K1v emulating Kawai K1

[Free] Introduction of Nils K1v emulating Kawai K1

The previous article was only release information, but since it is a wonderful sound source, I rewrote it as an introduction article.

I also re-recorded the video and added various things, so I put in the same amount of effort as writing a new one.

Nils K1v is a Kawai K1 emulated sound source.

In addition to the factory bank, an optional ROM card is also included.

Previously it was only VST2 for Win, but now it supports Mac and VST3.

Sound demo

If you like 80s hardware sound source, please listen to the sound for the time being.

I added effects and added drums and bass.

It is good to have a presence.

Summary

It sounds like hardware, so it's fresh in a sense.

Nilsschneider is nowMaking a Kawai K4 emuIt seems that it is working on.

Mr. Evan donated 4Kr, and decided to create a K4 emu, and it seems that he has already finished extracting waveforms from 3 ROMs.

And K4 seems to be a free release.

I'm really looking forward to this.
