Kurzweil K2700: Factory Presets Demo (Sound Only)

[@Screaming-Trees]

Kurzweil always surprises me with how good it sounds. I would say it's got a nicer sound than Roland or Korg workstations and definitely better sounding effects than just about anything else. Up there with Eventide and Lexicon. Nice demo.

[@100DollarHeadache]

30:07, preset 807, they really made a patch based on the background music on the show Rugrats and put it in the factory presets. I'm impressed.

[@stanleyassor3172]

this is one of the best soundin g keyboards ever, wow!

[@Donetur]

I really like this video because it shows more than just regular/common acoustic instruments.

[@kebeightyfour5717]

It should be whatever he wants it to be. Great video and excellent representation of the K2700!!

[@Donetur]

@@kebeightyfour5717 and I praise whatever i want to praise. Same applies for what I comment. ;)

[@TayWoode]

Agree, whenever I watch a video to get an idea of variations of sounds it’s always someone playing pianos, electric pianos, organ, clavinet, guitars, never any original unique sounds

[@jimmorrisoncold]

I miss my pc3x hope I could repair it. After you got a Kurz the possibilities are endless.VAST are great.

[@Benqo]

Thank you. Btw. that (A0) in the name of the Multi means that the A0 key triggers some other sound things ;)

[@ish233]

Kurzweil is so awesome

[@ecclesoul]

I apologize. A while back I meant to ask if it had any of the presets from the K2500. You did a demo of the K2500RS, so I was hoping you knew.

[@nycdogs]

🔊🔊 Great demonstration of great K2700 🎹🎹

[@MKA63]

Why is it that I cannot find a video on programming the K2700 - creating a patch from the start?

[@KurzweilMusicSystems-]

Amazing!

[@-SYnth-]

It is very very good synth. Because I have it.😊

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

Do you use it with a DAW? If so, have you used the USB cable for audio and midi signals at the same time?

[@AGDugros]

Never play a kurzweil but seems interesting. 🎹

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

👌I hope for a 61 or 73 semi key version, or a desktop.Maybe if sales stagnate or drop.

[@ingofritzsche7737]

61 Version is coming up now !!

Great video, how do you like the quality of the K2700? Material, craftsmanship etc..?

[@wolfgangSvukan]

very, very good! I didn't use it a lot, just for recording purposes.

[@ecclesoul]

Does it have the presets from the K2000 Contemporary ROM?

[@wolfgangSvukan]

I dont'know, I don't have K2000 ROMs. Read K2700 User Manual and do a comparation with preset/program lists.

[@ecclesoul]

@@wolfgangSvukan ok. thnx

[@ECollinsMusic]

Sounds like the 90s

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

It can sound like any decade you want it to sound like.

[@bateimidrashnetwork]

This or the Montage M8X ? Trying to make up my mind

[@jumpingman8160]

Kurzweil craps all over the Montage except when it comes to the touch screen. The K2700 has a lot more power and possibilities. The VAST system is like a modular synth in itself. Also the fx are bloody excelent on the Kurzweils

[@bateimidrashnetwork]

@@jumpingman8160 i considered the K2700 as a cheaper alternative, but programing the K2700 seems tedious and heavily menu-divy. Things as simple as two detuned sawtooths going into a lowpass filter with an envelope or lfo requires so many presses of the arrow keys and +/- buttons, trivial stuff is buried in pages and pages of menus, navigating is like on a 90's keyboard. Its envelopes don't have a sustain stage. Looking at the Montage M8X - you get poly aftertouch, more than twice the rom size, faster workflow, better B3 simulation, bigger screen (and a 2nd screen), a deeper FM engine etc etc.

[@jumpingman8160]

@@bateimidrashnetwork you won't use the rom space on the montage. The UI of the montage is horrendous (don't let the touch screen fool you, it's VERY menu divey). The envelopes on the Kurzweils can be whatever you want them to be: simple or complex. B3 simulation... you can change everything about it. The soundfiles on the Kurzweil are multi-layered (you can layer up to 32 different ones per program and have plenty of programs running simultaneously in a group). The zones are also easier to program.

[@bateimidrashnetwork]

@@jumpingman8160 1) What do you mean by "i won't use the rom space on the montage"? There's the factory rom and there's the user rom. The factory rom on the new montage m is 10GB whereas on the K2700 it's 4.5GB, and both have an additional 3.5GB of user rom. This means the sounds/samples on the Montage are bigger, bigger pianos, bigger string samples, more sounds on the whole - more than twice the size of what's on the K2700. 2) The Montage M is menu divey - but not as much as the K2700. And the new workflow on the montage M seems faster than the older Montage. The K2700 has 32 layers per part? The new Montage has 128 per part. I think what you're saying about the Montage seems like it's based on the older 2016 model and not the new one with the bigger rom, two screens, additional engine - not to mention polyphonic aftertouch

[@jumpingman8160]

@@bateimidrashnetwork are you refering to polyphony or actual number of layers you can have at the same time inside each program? Having owned the Montage and owning the Kurzweil I guarantee you you won't be using the internal memory space. To use samples you have to convert them using the montage app. No one has time for that. Whereas on the Kurzweil you can get 3rd party multi-samples for everything imaginable. The thing is, the samples on the Kurz are of the highest quality already.

[@user-wu3fj5cg5g]

PC3 - amazing orchestra sound. PC4 and K2700 - normal vst sound, like nexus. I think that it was necessary to follow the path of a more realistic sound, including not saving the cost of amplification.
