𝗞𝗨𝗥𝗭𝗪𝗘𝗜𝗟 𝗞𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟬 - BrainCells 【Synthesizer Music】

This song is programmed entirely on KURZWEIL K2000, no external synths, samplers or FX processors used. Recorded directly from K2000 audio output. Track is based on VAST engine programs (basses, pads, leads, percussions, sound effects) and loaded samples (drum loops, guitars, sound effects), using K2000's internal sequencer and FX processor.

Every so often I have to come back to listen to this. Great vibe and full of 90’s nostalgia.

[@_oscillator]

This track was recorded in the end of 90's. I'm glad you liked it. Cheers

[@jurennn]

all this from K2000 you really mastered it! beautiful!

[@_oscillator]

+jurennn Thanks :) Actually K2000 is very logical and intuitive as workstation. Easy synth!

[@Lucafeelgood]

Came back to listen to your brainCells....I love this Kurzweil machine. And yes No wonder..Just a great sound and track. Thats the way I like it Have a nice day. Greetings Atti

[@_oscillator]

+Atti Klancnik Hi Atti :) Thanks for listening, Kurzweil really is one great workstation :) It was produced i 1991 and even nowadays not every synth can do what it does... !!!

[@Lucafeelgood]

Thanks for response..If you have time, watch my last song. Maybe you like it. Happy weekend my friend.

[@S1R1NMUSIC]

This is actually really cool! It makes me think of bands like Velvet Acid Christ

[@_oscillator]

I will definitely check this band! Thanks for visiting, Best Regards!

[@theaudioeng]

With a very re-invented Numanesque, dark feel ... like it. (Saw him O2 Oxford last night, brilliant gig.)

[@_oscillator]

This track was recorded in the end of nineties, I still have this song on ZIP disk as K2000's sequencer data, all samples, patches etc :) By the way - check the Insanity Trilogy on my channel which was recorded entirely with Morpheus synth If you like the dark atmosphere. Cheers!

[@theaudioeng]

Ok will do - literally just bought a Morpheus off eBay a few weeks ago, yet to dig in but this may well be an inspiration! 🎹😎

[@silverworks7]

Sounds really good... Congrats on your ideas using the K. I bought my new in 1993 and it has been my main keyboard... Love it!

[@_oscillator]

Silverio F. da Silva That's nice you liked this, tnx! Yes, this synth is just great, I'm still exploring it :) Cheers!

[@trianglecross1270]

Dark, ambient and brilliant

[@_oscillator]

Tnx man, Regards!

[@raschuis]

Sehr interessant, das hat was, klasse...

[@_oscillator]

Danke, ich bin froh, dass dir das gefallen hat!

[@orenob]

Sounds great!! Enjoyed the sounds and composition. Cheers :-)

[@_oscillator]

Thanks mate. All the Best to you !

[@glenbrady4220]

Sounds so warm and vibey.

[@_oscillator]

+Glen Brady The K2VX is very flexible synth for any type of sounds, also with endless programming possibilies!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Awesome track, great sounds! In combination with that picture from The Grudge it is very creepy! :-)

[@_oscillator]

Thanks, this one is from my early tracks, recorded in 1998 when I just got my Kurzweil K2000 synth, which is very powerful and flexible workstation. Everything in this track is coming from single K2000 in real time :)

[@elfwing5400]

Pure hardcore hardware :) well done.

[@_oscillator]

That's right, just a single K2000, nothing else :) Great workstation!

[@WalterSchwarzElectronicMusic]

fantastic work !!!

[@_oscillator]

+Walter Schwarz Thanks Walter, here are the sounds based on internal ROM waveforms of K2000 synth (bass, pads, leads, S/H effects, percussion) and loaded external samples (sound FX, fuzz guitars and drumloop).

[@ish233]

Excellent, I've been working on some Morpheus sounds recently and will try to showcase some strange sounds with that soon. I've also been looking into Kurzweil as well more so since you shined some light on it. Cool Styles

[@_oscillator]

ish233 Thanks, I'm also in Morpheus now, just decide to upload some ten years old stuff from Kurzweil :)

[@ish233]

Nice, you were at it for awhile. Good to hear some inventory of your tracks, and the style is still cool.

[@poymorph]

Equally great !

[@_oscillator]

Thanks man!

[@andycarter1089]

This is a cool track! Proper moody! Am impressed it''s just one synth.... an obvious beast! :)

[@_oscillator]

+andy carter I'm glad you liked this :) This track really was recorded in real-time directly from audio outs. The K2000 is great workstation (synth, sampler, sequencer, FX) so it's pure pleasure to to work with it :)

[@PATROUXAMBIENTMUSIC]

Big sound, great ambiances , impressive and a bit scarry :-) good composition , congratulations

[@_oscillator]

+PATROUXAMBIENTMUSIC Thanks, I used the Kurzweil custom patches (sound FX, vocal S/H, basses, percussions, leads) and loaded samples (drum loops and some SFX from Synclavier). I'm happy you find this listenable :)

[@brodobetalab6478]

fab suspense, ! 03:25 or so among other amazing sounds

[@_oscillator]

***** At 3:25 it's a sample from legendary Cynclavier synthesizer. This is the one of most amazing synths ever made, released in 1977. This monster was born to early.. unfortunately.

[@BruecknerAmbient]

Great dark track - I love it!

[@_oscillator]

+Michael Brückner I'm really happy you liked this :) Cheers!

[@modulardip1350]

very nice!!!

[@_oscillator]

+A. Jeans I'm happy you liked this track, it's also one of my favorites :)

[@robertgogol289]

Energetic track! Well done :)

[@_oscillator]

Thanks mate :) I'm happy you liked this. The K2000 is very powerful workstation - VAST synthesis, 24 track sequencer, sampler and FX processor in one box. Cheers!

[@samplidium]

Well done!

[@_oscillator]

Thanks !

[@OldBeats]

Great sound here !!! Like !!!

[@_oscillator]

+Old Beats Thanks for nice comment! I'm happy if somebody else enjoyed this :)

[@MrRidgebackman]

I really like this track, some great sounds and great production, big thumbs up from me, have subbed. Cheers - Andy

[@_oscillator]

+AndyBarrow Thank you, I really appreciate this :)

[@daz4627]

Mate... I've just found this channel (from a post on Matrixsynth) .... all of this on a K2000??? I've got one of those sitting right next to me at the moment.... It's a great synth but now I know just how LITTLE I know about using one of these... better put my head down and start reading those manuals a bit more. Great work :-)

[@_oscillator]

Thanks mate! Yes, only single K2000 there, nothing else. Please read the description under the video (some samples also loaded, like drum loops etc). This is very flexible synth - I have one hour long demo about Kurz, which shows most of abilities of VAST engine. But anyway, that's a good idea to read the manual :) Cheers!

[@DanielDavissynthman]

Spooky! I like it.

[@_oscillator]

+Daniel Davis I'm happy you enjoyed this, one of my old works from 1999, the year when I got my K2000 :)

[@Getúlio-o6g]

Subscribed#915+like ... Fantastic work ! Greetings 🌳

[@_oscillator]

Thank you, Regards!

[@allertonoff4]

yeah ! .. luv the Monumental retro style, and the abstract SFX .. hmm, am becoming increasingly intrigued by the possibilities of carefully considered panning as an active element within the 'symbolic nebula' of a track .. 99.999 % are essentially thinking monophonically, don't u reckon ? :)

[@_oscillator]

Hi ! This track was created in year 1998 or 1999 as far as I remember - I just bought a K2000 synth. I spent all my time, days and nights, learning VAST synthesis, sampling part and sequencer of Kurzweil.... That was a great time with so much fun.

[@Arsalan-Pervez]

Please can you make some tutorials for VAST?I have just bought a K2000 and your tracks are really inspiring me a lot. Great arrangement and compositions and the use of textures too

[@_oscillator]

I would like to make a lessons about K2000 synthesis, but there is one problem - English is not my native language. I can read and write fluent, but I can't speak good enough to make tutorials, unfortunatelly. If I do something, it must be perfect, but this is not the case. Anyway, I truly suggest you to start with reading User Manual and keep your K2000 besides you, to try everything step by step. VAST is complex, but not complicated - for me it is the most logical and well organized synth I ever touched. After some time you will see that too. Cheers

[@Arsalan-Pervez]

@@_oscillator Hey man thanks for replying, np on that. I haven't received my k2000 yet. it is coming with its manuals and everything.. sure i will try to do that.. I have some experience of programming a yamaha dx100 and korg m1. do you think that will help here? btw again i would say.. brother you have harnessed the power of this device really well.

[@Arsalan-Pervez]

One more thing. Although similarly English is my second language as well. But I am fairly fluent in speaking as well. Because in our country, Pakistan, if you dont know English well, you dont get a good job. Anyhow, my proposal is, if you feel like its a good idea, then we can collaborate. You give me some textual material about this. I can help make some videos about all those stuff which you may then post on your channel. What say! I am excited to hear back from you. This will in turn help me with my understanding of the synth as well. Please dont mind me being very forward in my approach.

[@_oscillator]

@@Arsalan-Pervez Thanks man for proposal. thats a great idea to convert text into audio. Unfortunately I can not do anything at the moment, because I'm nearly 1000 kilometers away from home. Actually I'm away last 5 years - working for life in another country. I'm not sure when I will be back home for good, maybe after few years. About your synths - I had a DX21 many years ago. Of course, any experience helps for every step you go further into world of electronic sounds, but if you compare the K2000 and DX100 is like computer against a pocket calculator. Even the M1 is just a simple toy, but there are some similarities with K2000, because basically they both are romplers. Kurzweil gives much more power with DSP algorithms, advanced modulation matrix, FUNs, also with ability to load and process external waveforms and samples thru the VAST engine. Everything else is same as M1 : synth + internal sequencer + internal FX processor.

[@Arsalan-Pervez]

Sorry to hear about that, I hope you get some job near your home which pays equally well. And yes this is the same issue at my country, so I can relate. I listened to some of the stuff that you have posted and I will definite try out, using your sounds as inspiration because honestly yours are the best videos I could find that demonstrates what a K2000 is capable of. The proposal for that will remain valid if you get time in future because I know that I am not going to get any other synth, and will be experimenting with this for years to come. So, definitely ping me you find the time. There is a lot that I can learn from you as I have only started out with these things.. I am originally a guitarist and have been playing for almost 9-10 years. Fairly intermediate, and have decided to record my own music which is why I got these synths. btw thanks again man, for entertaining my comments.

[@kraftzug66]

ottimo!!!!

[@_oscillator]

kraftzug66 Molte grazie!

[@thespots]

About to decide between a k2500xs or a VP. Would love to have some of these incredible patches!!!

[@_oscillator]

The 2500 model is much better than VP - doubled polyphony (48 voices), ribbon controller, 8 controller sliders and very powerful FX procesor.

[@Mauronator]

That's an excellent track!! Very well done man :-) You have a new Subscriber and i liked your video :)

[@_oscillator]

+Mauronator Thanks, this is one of my early works from year 1999 or 2000, when I got this Kurzweil K2VX synth. No other synths used there, just Kurz :) Now I have also Morpheus synth which has same deep programming as K2VX (or even more unexpected stuff inside, you can see the difference in the "Insanity" track). They both are great synths!

[@Mauronator]

+oscillator Yeah the synths sound great!!

[@kyma1999x]

+oscillator for me morpheus can't match absolutely vast...the good of emu is the z planes filter and extensive matrix modulation....but lacks multilayers of vast, sampling import, FUNs etc etc. however...did you know that there is a way to emulate morpheus in kurzweil? well not in k2xxx series due to the limit of layers. in pc3/pc3k or forte series you could....every layer can be processed by other layers....this is cascade mode not present in k2000. create a layer with keymap or other oscillators....then cascade it through 7/8 other layers with keymap off....and select 7 bandpass filters in cascade and a lowpass...you essentially have one osc processed by multiple filters in cascade....same as emu does :)

[@pareng_jef]

Wow nice New friend here I have a gift for you ❤️

[@_oscillator]

Thanks!

[@АлександрВизгунов-ы6б]

3:24 sound "waterphone" is this an external sample? ahhh sorry "and loaded samples (drum loops, guitars, sound effects)"

[@_oscillator]

Yes, this waterphone was taken from sound libraries. The K2000 does not have this sound in its ROM waveforms, but it may be possible to create it using VAST.

[@480Reggae]

Fat Sound ! COOL !!!!!

[@_oscillator]

Thanks mate! This synth can produce really fat sounds (V.A.S.T. engine + samples).

[@DanHomeAtLast]

This is impressive really good use of the k2000, I've just picked one up, and am working on using it. I've used sequencers like the Yamaha qy700, but how do you create so many layers in this system? Do you use the sequencer with combinations of patches?

[@_oscillator]

Yes, I used internal sequencer of K2000, around 10 tracks or so, custom patches and some loaded samples - drumloops. Effects (reverbs) are coming from internal FX processor of K2000. Cheers!

[@DanHomeAtLast]

oscillator hey thanks for the reply, subs up! Cheers

[@_oscillator]

Feel free mate if you have any questions about K2000, I will be happy to help in any way :) Best Regards!

[@zerofactum]

[@deauvillevrienden]

Great track, thanks for sharing ! There is some VAST programming software but the link is dead, do you have a zip available?

[@_oscillator]

Yes, I have VASTprogrammer software in my archives, it runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Great editor for Kurz. Please give your email and I will send it to you, no problem.

Hallo Kurz oscillator, I just bought my K2000/rack and I am about to dive in this "vintage" beast. Can you please send me also the programmer soft? I am into daaaark and deeep weird sounds, and I believe my K2000 is the key. Thank you in advance. mpotzos a+ gmail c0m
