It was great! Please do a part 2!

I'm the (nerd) guy who in 1992 or so learned the VAST architecture and programmed so many sounds (over 5000) for the K2x00 series that I started a monthly subscription for them. It's an embarrassing world record. But the K2000 is perhaps the most capable DSP based synthesizer ever made.

@@wackerburg It likely has MORE DSP power, but I know of no modern synths that have the capability of freely stacking DSP blocks in a series to make a whole new synthesizer architecture.

I can definitely second this, I am a fairly new hardware synth nerd guy, like started a year or two ago now, and ended up getting two k2000r synths somehow for fairly cheap considering the more recent prices, like $500 for both them. They are by far the most powerful synths I think I've used probably only matched by my E6400 ultra. The amount of flexibility it gives you is unmatched, and to think that later on with the K2600r they gave you algorithms that had three layers and every preset could have upto 32 layers...you can't match that kinda power and that not even mentioning it's a sampler you really can't go wrong with these machines.

Well all Kurzweil‘s synths are timeless und fine.

So many famous sounds among those presets. The guitar sound of "Till I Come" by ATB and the lead sound of "I feel you" by Schiller are some examples.

Please do a part 2. This brings back memories for me. In 1993 took a $6k bank loan to buy a K2000 w sampling options, sold it ~10 years later and I now I'm buying Kurzweil's again; I've repaired and fully loaded two K1000's and added a new K2700! I think I have a K problem. :-)

It doesn't matter if the piano sound is convincing at this point. It's such an incredibly 90s sound. It's perfect for creating that mood.

As a Pink Floyd fan, I remember the K2000 being heavily promoted/linked with the Division Bell tour.

This unit is cold and warm at the same time. Pretty peculiar. Unique for sure. You can' t really obtain that in a plugin. It's something about converters, amplification and preamplification. Very beautifull. And yeah deconstruct it and do a part 2. This k2000 worth it imho.

Yes sir, definitely need to recreate one of the most popular tracks of the 2000's - Children.

PLEASE DO A PART 2 :) Children would be interesting - I really loved Fable, the follow-up...

Three thoughts about this video: 1. When the first note from "Acoustic piano" hit my ears, all of Rick Wright's piano work on the Division Bell album passed before my psyche. 2. I think I would speak for everyone if I'd request that you put more footage from your early days.. the snippets in here were amazing to behold. 3. The rabbit hole of deconstructing oldies with the original synth sounds may consume your existence.. it is a very dangerous path, tread carefully.

Man it is so moving to see your joy when redescovering old stuff. And Dave was such a warm dude too!

It’s funny how certain sounds take you back to an era. I had the M1 and that piano sound was everywhere in the 90s

New banks of sounds are coming out now for the K2000 by the way. People are pushing the depth and power of VAST way further now than ever before. These new sounds are sublime and seriously amazing. Sounds like a completely new synth. There is something almost spiritual about the K2000. Only very few synths make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and the K2000 is one of them. There is something very special about it. The K2500 also has the magic but the K2600 moved away from the sound a bit. They changed the OS. The K2600 wont load a lot of K2000 patches either. I have compared all three models by the way and the K2000 wins hands down.

In the 90s workstations were the in-the-box solution. You could of course sequence the sounds using a computer or if you were really bleeding edge, a computer and rack modules! People were already saying analog sounded better (still does IMO) and digital gear had no soul, just like we're saying about VSTs now!

I have a Kurzweil K2500X with 88 heavy keys and using it since 1997 (now 26 years) and never changed. Created a lot of music with the internal sounds. Currently not using the internal sounds anymore only as MIDI Keyboard in my modern studio. Never seen this kind of 88 heavy keys in other MIDI devices. I have 100% Piano feeling. Love my Kurzweil 🙂

Wow! I want one! Amazing Synth! Ok, do a deconstruct and part 2! I would love to hear more of you and the Synth! By the way, the 1st setting of acoustic piano.... 😲 Incredible Sound! Looking forward to hearing more.

True Artist, stay healthy!

I absolutely loved playing the K2000S in my university's recording studio when I was studying my music degree in the early 90s. I had a Korg T3EX and the Kurzweil and Korg mixed together was truly magical. The acoustic instrument programs in the Kurzweil left everything for dead at that time such as the piano, EPs, solo trumpet, acoustic and electric guitar programs etc. It was a very deep synth to program and its effects architecture was a bit limiting but Kurzweil improved them in newer generations of their instruments. Keep up the great work and you're a fabulous player with a great personality and charisma!

Just shows how older instruments can still sound soooo good in capable hands. Loved it! Please do a Part II. 🙂

Sold my K2000 years ago - good luck i saved the 500 mb(!) harddisk. Last year a broken k2000 passed in here, after cleaning and restoring i upgraded it with SCSI2SD and refilled it with my old backups. Fantastic machine, fantastic video.
