Maybe because it's really a computer by Tree (I practice a long time) and also because the parameters are in units of 'real' (not a value between 0 and 127) I find the hyper parameter editing easy, whether for sound, or other effects. Rich connections (8 separate outputs, two SCSI ports, MIDI, pedals, etc.), it will have no difficulty integrating into your studio. Thanks to its 8 faders (8 with associated switches), its two ribbons (with a little pressure, and a large.

One highlight of this keyboard is that it can easily serve as master control. Not being a pianist confirmed, I will not judge the quality of touch, but in the words of experts, he remained pleasant and correct (I say this based on recent progress in this area) But once one has overcome the c*sio-level (no offense ever!!!) and want to play with the big boys, the Kurzweil is the way to go. The Kurzweil is not a synth to begin with, its multitude of possibilities and controls will surely overwhelm and maybe even scare the synthesizer-neophyte. The quality as I mentioned above is absolutely superior, be it the sounds or the action of the keys, I have not played a better synth to date and it`s not like I didn`t try

This ain`t no kiddy toy, its rugged housing takes the stress of 'being on theroad' like there ain`t any. Other than that I couldn`t ask for much more in a synth than my K offers me The K2500 X is so damn heavy that you can`t possibly carry it around on your own.at least you`re not gonna want to.Īlthough once you get used to how menus and soft-buttons work it`s a breeze to use I think in future updates the display could be a bit bigger. It loads samples in Akai format too, so that you won`t run out of sounds no matter what.Īlso, the action of the keyboard is very good, a little heavier than most weighted synths, definitely feels very piano-likeĮrr, did I say it feels piano-like? It also WEIGHS according to that. With my K being nearly maxed out memory wise and having all three expansion boards installed there are literally no limits to the sounds you can create. The K 2500 is the most amazing synth I`ve ever played, the flexibility and the pure power of the synth can make about 99% of all other synths obsolete. I also heard the 2500 rack in a band I play with. My main motivation in buying it was that I needed a synth with 88 keys and the good reviews I had read about it before. I bought this baby second hand for *price converted from German Marks* about $1500.
