Get to know the Kurzweil K2000
The Kurzweil K2000 is a 16 bit sampler with a complex synthesis architecture.The K2000 features a technology dubbed V.A.S.T. (variable-architecture synthesis techology). It is variable in that the user can select different signal paths, which contain different DSP functions, for use in creating and shaping a sound. V.A.S.T. also includes an extensive modulation system, similar in concept to that of analog modular synthesizers. A wide array of modulation sources can be assigned to various parameters within a signal path, and modulation sources can be combined to create new modulation sources.

Here’s some personal examples of the K2000’s easy editing to create huge VA sounds in minutes.
The top ‘199 default program’ is a generic piano that I used as a base template. The next four programs are post edits of 199, while the fifth was done in real time to show dynamics, richness and the K2000’s massive features.
