This is a video of my KURZWEIL K2000 synthesizer to give you an idea of the sound possibilities of this great musical instrument. Enjoy listening! #kurzweil #kurzweilk2000 #synthesizer
The Kurzweil K-series are my favorite instruments. I've owned or used endless samplers, analog and digital synths, etc. from Roland Jupiter 8 + 6 to TB303 to Minimoogs, DX7, analog Korgs, modular/eurorack, old AKAI EMU, Ensoniq, Roland samplers blah blah blah. Out of all of them, my favorite single pieces of gear have been the TR-808 and my original K2000S, which I sold to get a K2500RS + KDFX, which I sold to get a K2600RS (The brown one). Now I see Kurzweil has released the K2700. It's 88 keys, which are weighted, hammer-style keys. Far too large and heavy for me. If they make one with less keys and keyboard action, I will absolutely get one, but I'm keeping the K2600rs.
The sampler board is crucial to get the most out of the Kurzweil K-series. Especially when using the K2500, K2600 and K2661. Without it, you cannot use live input as an oscillator source, you cannot resample.
