Samples From Mars Kawaii Dreams From Mars MULTIFORMAT
15 Dreamy Patches from Our Favorite Kawaii Keyboards
After a recent deep dive into early rave records, I went down a rabbit hole to find out what synths were responsible for the sounds that made the music so special. So we grabbed a handful of vintage Kawaii synths and fell in love with the K3 (1986), K1 (1988), and GB-2 A.K.A. Session Trainer (1991).
These wavetable synths have an inherent harmonic distortion from the era’s conversion technology that give them a ton of character not possible from analog oscillators (and not captured on the recent plugins that have surfaced). So we sampled a mix of era-defining preset patches and custom patches. These sounds are cinematic, nostalgic, and orchestral… but above all, dreamy!
