I'm searchching for an rather old 32bit VST plugin emulation of the ultra rare Kawai SX240 synth. It was free to download years ago but I can't find any working links. Soooo....if anybody happens to have this .dll I'd greatly appreciate if you could share it.....

Hello ;), I am the creator of virtualsynthesizers.com
Originally I'd put it up for free download on the site, but some people scared me by telling me it would be forbidden to share it. Do you think this is nonsense?

 

I'ts done

I'ts done, I've written “ (If you are the creator of this VST and would like me to delete it, please send me a message via the ‘contact’ button on the home page.), it should be fine like that.

 

This site is totally free, and was created out of passion and a love of sharing with musicians. So don't hesitate to check it out, it's really cool. Have fun ;)

 

Probably so! I believe this synth was freeware to begin with and both it and the developer have been MIA
for a long time. I highly doubt he will mind but I'm sure he'll politely let you know if he does.

Thanks so much for re-upping it!! And nice site!! I've been poking around it a bit this morning
Some great info, pics and links to great old synths!!

Cheers.......Trip

Hello Triphammer,
I agree with you that it seems unlikely that anyone would get excited :D.
Have fun with the spanax ;)
Thanks for your feedback

 

Oh yes an 88 Digital Synth is really an alternative to an 84 analog Synth

SX-240 and K1 are really different kind of synths, by synthesis method and sound

Yes, I just installed it and was able to get a few sounds out of it, thanks for the tip!! www.vintagesynth.com/kawai/sx-240

 

You can get the service manuals for 'Kawai SX'... here:
https://archive.org/search?query=kawai+sx
- very informative with block-diagrams, schematics etc.
* most other synths as well @ archive.org

Note: the K1v is a ROMpler using the original wave BIN files.
Fingers x'ed Nils' - K4 emu will see daylight soon!
