Hi Mike,
     The Kawai K4 is a powerful but complicated little bugger.  Here is the 
Parameter Reference Chart that came in the manual.  This is for single patches
only:

A couple of things to mention:
	-There are 256 waves to choose from.  
		1-96: DC Waves or Single Cycle waves (as we know them)
		97-256: PCM Waves or Sampled waves (as we know them)
	
	-The K4 has 32 Oscillators but only 16 note polyphony since there is 
		always at least 2 oscillators per note.

	-In the Common page, there is a choice of three source modes.  
		Normal: sources 1&2 -> filter 1 per note
		Twin: sources 1&2 -> filter 1 + 
			sources 3&4 -> filter 2 = per note
		Double: sources 1,2,3,4 -> filter 1 -> filter 2 = per note

	-Here's the goofy section of this instrument, the Effect (K4) and 
		Output (K4r) Patches.  Effect patches tell the singles or 
		the Multi's outputs where to go.  There is a total of 32 
		Output Patches for the instrument and are shared by both 
		the Single Patches and the Multi Patches.

 
Hope this helps,
	Craig Robinson
