as already said. it works as normal. you still have the stock XD5 machine. the bends can all be turned off with the switches. they just FURTHER extend the sound possibilities of the unit.

The XD5 is the best drum 'synth' I've ever used, and that includes the 808. Plus it's not just limited to drum sounds, you can get some crazy sounds out of it straight out of the box, plus the 8 separate send channels in the back are super handy too... It's totally underrated.

Fuuuuck yes. This shit is kawai.

[FUHGI]

i wanted to hear the original machine and i find this shit¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[partyeffectsdotbiz]

I agree can someone post a video of the original soundz??

[illumination2006]

@FUHGI the video clearly says Circuit bent Kawai... so...

[937emotion]

@FUHGI Sounds like a personal problem. It clearly says "circuit bent"' in the video description.

[fuckingharpsichord]

sansui reverb !

[HELPTHEHOMELESS32]

finally a video worth watching on YouTube. fuck Micheal Jackson!

[tomhikon]

But why circuit bend it when you can get such crazy sounds out of it in the first place.

I so love the attitude of the XD-5, life of its own and so underated.

Cool vid tho just the same keep it up.

And for the earlier comment yes I have mine slaved to a Drumkat.

[liverawkstar]

so true dude

I have two xd5's

plus a million other syths that make drum sounds--

so i know there special--

nothing cuts like them--

and their so "unhip"

[dayjob]

you don't have to use the bends on this. it works as normal unless you throw the switches. i've heard this in person and it's very impressive. the tiny mic on the camera doesn't do it justice. the bends on this do some amazing things. not just your typical glitch distortion type stuff but really transform the sounds in a very musical way.

[nicolaspatoncornejo]

Can the kawai module be used with electronic drum pads?

[winchy808]

Great stuff!
