This workstation was well ahead of it's time especially it's drum sets. Also some of the piano and organ sounds in early 90s Casio keyboards are based on lofi Kurzweil samples which is what brought me here.
Jeff Fatt from The Wiggles used the Kurzweil K2000 VP in Wiggly Party: Live in Concert around December 2001. Jazz Organ (We're Dancing With Wags The Dog and Dance The Ooby-Doo), Marimba (Magic Buttons skit), Acoustic Piano (Five Little Ducks), and Celesta (Silent Night) and I hope I see that full concert with Jeff playing the Kurzweil K2000 VP keyboard during those four songs and one skit after Sir Leslie Longley uploads it.
I can only stand those synth sounds which can sound quite warm without annoying harmonics that most romplers suffers even today from. The rest bread and butter sounds are extremely outdated. Thanks for making the video.
That is a matter of opinion. The k2000 has deep editing ability, and many samples from k2500 are available.. I am amazed at how well the piano sounds are even after 30 years. Very useable keyboard.
@@goddem123 I had replaced os also. k2vx is not a version, but model of synth. My synth is k2000 and it has pram extension with Janis 3.87 OS and its sounds as default 01-199 (there are similar to k2vx sounds i guess). But I have loaded original sounds (from the k2000 previous chip to 800-999 patches). So now it has ROM default sounds 01-199 and RAM original k2000 sounds.
The K2k v.3 with none of the ROM blocks has 200 presets & 200 user locations so it can hold/store up to 400 or so from/on the basic macros autoload setup at power up with ROM blocks, upgrades & other expansions as many as a 1000 thanx folks
@@laurenrudinsky4180 I am having a deja vu with the ALF episode "Don't it make my brown eyes turn blue", where ALF couldnt find out how to turn on an electric piano, because Power switches were ancient technology to him 😅 "Didn't you learn about electronic music on Melmac? Ancient history wasn't my best subject."
Nahuhuh?! U got it backasswards the Kurz would kill the Roland JV in an instant because of that thing they call V.A.S.T. & u can call the bank on that before the no.holes barred holdup occurs dude
@@angelog.spicolaiii8021 all this V.A.S.T. is just bullshit and sounds all the same, all hype on words, nothing really interesting when you dig inside, the problem is the sound - it doesn't sound sweet or nice or exciting, it's boring and bad
@@jokijarvi2 yeak right man?! No offense but ur of a mislead minority, a bit non-sensical or just plain old troll (take ur prick) that has been duped by the recycled redundancy of Roland, last time I checked they can't read other file formats even though a Kurz can load their's so obviously if they're that bad & ur bored u have not dug deep enough to have this view point or are just being contrary for the sake of it, not believing what many people novices & experts alike have to say, where even the most adamant detractors still are able to concur upon these objective facts, not to mention the one's who really know better, wish they did or just flat out don't dude
@@angelog.spicolaiii8021 thanks for the good words, but this is just like your opinion man :) my opinion is that kurzweils are greatly overrated and hyped over the top with no special sound of their own. I get easily bored with their overly "digital" character that always stays no matter what you crush and bend to make it better. Greetings and thanks again for your kind words.
@@jokijarvi2 U gotta be kiddin' even if they are a bit of a mockingbird machine that's a good thing in my book & the V.A.S.T. infinity levels are no joke either THAT'S the gamechanger it's what make's 'em a horse of a different color & really just wholly unique beasts. A big box of many various kind's of paints, with an unlimited canvas -instead of a single kind of one in only a limited box..Kurz's are more like a Synclavier 'than a Yamaha who set's thee defacto standard by which the other two of their Japanese brethren-the big 3 (Korg & Roland) have to live or measure up to just ask anybody who knows whats up?! JD's or JV's just don't have what's on offer with K2k's. The only slight edge I'd give Roland is in patch storage capabilities & keybed feel; I use one (MIDI controller) to control the Kurz. Here's another thing: why do ya think Yamaha wouldn't license the use of FM to Kurzweil (back then) 'cause they knew their's was inferior to Kurz's take on IT. LYS though opinion's are like arseholles everybody's got one Butt just the facts dude 😎
