Gameplay
The Kawasaki Synthesizer was sold as a 2-disk package that according to its own in-game demonstration "will transform Commodore 64 into an incredible synthesizer and more." The game came with a software version of a techno track by Kawasaki entitled "Satellite Station," and it allowed a user to select notes to be played and create songs that could then be saved. Numerous other typically Kawasakian influences were also notably discernible, including the Kawasaki Space Theatre which depicted a couple of Thai kick boxers who would fly by. The game was regarded as having a dream-like fairy-tale atmosphere, and as future games were released the color schemes (for example in Kawasaki Magical Musicquill) became increasingly psychedelic.
Different modes were available including the "Easy Beginner Version" (in which a new player could learn how to create music in simple steps), "Demo" (in which the player was shown a pre-recorded display created by Kawasaki that highlighted the capabilities of the program), and "The Performer" - the composition portion of the game.
