In fact, the waveform material differs little from that of the original K2000, except that there is a completely new set of drum and percussion samples. The K2000VP sitting here before me encompasses all of the previous improvements and now adds the waveform ROM of the K2500. Happily this still didn't stop the advance of the K2000 - the software updates continued, including several features introduced with the K2500, such as an increase in the number of drum channels to eight. And for more demanding users, Kurzweil eventually introduced the K2500, with more processing power and double the polyphony of the K2000. Major improvements in the operating system have brought along a powerful and highly usable 32‑track sequencer, extensive third‑party sampler compatibility, advanced disk operations and a whole host of useful tweaks. A steady flow of both hardware and software upgrades has kept their customers' purchases moving right along with the times. Well, actions speak louder than words, and over the years Kurzweil have proved themselves trustworthy.
Many synths have come and gone in the interim, yet the K2000 still holds a special place for those seeking a machine of quality and flexibility.įrom the very first, Kurzweil promised continuing support for the K2000. Sound On Sound first reviewed the Kurzweil K2000 way back in March 1992 - and mightily impressed we all were too. It's certainly borrowed (for the purposes of this review), and it's unquestionably blue, but is it old or new? Synth Guidance Counsellor and long‑time K2000 owner Paul Ward checks out Kurzweil's VP makeover of this legendary workstation.
