Why? Because the K3 is a bizarre, beautiful hybrid. It combined with digital additive oscillators . This means it has the gritty, warm, unstable filter of an analog polysynth (a Curtis CEM3372 filter, to be exact) driven by 128 digital harmonic partials per voice. | | VCF (analog low-pass, 24 dB/oct) |
