Kurzweil K2700 Demo At NAMM 2022 Day 2

Kurzweil K2700 Demo At NAMM 2022 Day 2

[@ChristianMartirano]

I was asked to show a few analog patches. The instrument is capable of combining FM in the middle of a DSP chain creating sounds that FM could not create on its own. Then combining that with samples that are manipulated through nonlinear processes and run through unique effects can create sounds not shown here. Add to that steps sequencing and intelligent arpeggiations along with controller sequencing and you can have some pretty amazing sonic landscapes. Don’t forget these videos posted were at NAMM and there were people requesting specific sounds. Try to not judge a book by its cover in this case apparently I’m the cover.

Hi Chris i’m so glad that you contacted me great demonstration by the way at Namm I actually wanted to tag you to this video but when I came back I was so Jet Lag I forgot your last name sorry about that but definitely I will tag you to this video Awesome demonstration as usual when I did a video on it I had no clue where to begin because it was my first time touching the instrument so I just play just a piano sound Let’s keep in touch I will definitely be there next Namm Do you have my number if not I can always give it to you

Wish Kurzweil would make a 61-note version of the K2700. Not everyone has the need or the room or the back for a full 88-note 60-lb keyboard just to get the capabilities of this instrument. Charge the same money for it, but offer a 61-note version and you’ll sell a ton of them.

With an incorporated ribbon this time. The k2661 didn’t have this ribbon and it wasn’t the same when purchased separately. I think they can make the space for that :)

How fast is the action? I owned a bunch of 88-key boards but when I found the Kurzweil PC2x I was really happy. Everyone I've played with loves it and it's never let me down. I can play very fast on repeated notes because the keys rebound very quickly. I've tried a bunch of other 88-key boards and they are so sluggish; you play a note and the key comes up so slow you can't do that. No matter how good the sound is, I need a responsive board.

hmmmmmm....... My one and ONLY question (Disclaimer: I AM a Kurzweil fan and past owner of their products): What will the new K2700 contribute to the music keyboard landscape that we don't already have covered with current keyboard alternatives? I sincerely wish somebody will answer that question because I do not see it.

[@activelow9297]

I was asking the same question, until I bought one. So many keyboards do many many things, but they don't do any individual one of them particularly well. The K2700 does a lot of things, and it does them all well... and it integrates them together in a way you just can't get from other gear. It's the glue that holds my studio together now, really..

I’m also a kurzweil user in the past … this was a successor in the 90’ … still have my K2000 😊 you can create crazy stuff but the way for editing sound on a small , difficult to read , screen is not anymore interesting these days. I don’t know how it is with the new keyboards … I have the feeling that there is a difficult competition with other brand’s to keep this as a interesting product for musicians in general … but in a way … I still like Kurzweil

The action is very slow, after keybed is disappointing.
