Description | The Siel Kiwi was the next incarnation of the previously successful DK600 with a six voice analog synthesizer with digitally controlled oscillators. The Kiwi is a programmable polyphonic synthesizer, featuring 6 voices for 2 DCO's each with dynamic keyboard control. There are 95 programs on board which can be overwritten. The programmable dynamic envelope generator lets you control both the Attack Time and the A.D.S.R. destination (filter, amplifier, or both) for advanced sound possibilities. |

| Velocity |
As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. |
Aftertouch |
Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
| Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise. |
