Kurzweil K2700 - NAMM 2024 - KUCR

KUCR talks with about the Kurzweil K2700 workstation keyboard. It is a tank of a machine that is backwards compatible. Specifically, you can load all of your work and progress from a previous Kurzweil machine into the new one. This workstation has 16 pad triggers, 16 zone multi controller mode, 16 track sequencer, color LCD display, and much more.

My 8-year-old and I can attest to the robustness of the K2700 and how it can plummet to the floor, fly off the stand, be whacked with a baseball bat… OMG 😅 and still keep tickin’!

I have a kurzweil PC 3 keyboard that frankly still amazes me with just what it can do.

I trust you're referring to the Atlanta NAMM Show where MIDI was introduced as I was there. I met Stevie Wonder there and even helped him fight with setting up a PPG Wave Synth/Workstation as it was very difficult for him to manage. He was an incredible man and Herbie Hancock was there as well trying to play some machine that was Alpha mode at best. Mr. Wonder was intelligent, kind and vey, very funny. For some reason I'm thinking this was 1982 vs 1983 as you stated but many years have passed so I'm probably wrong.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I would love to see the K2X series virtualized in software. Especially the earlier/legacy models. Surely we have enough CPU horsepower nowadays to handle this beast?

Why is the Kurzweil K2700, which is available on the market with the same features since autum 2021, promoted by the company at NAMM 2024 as the total novitée that it isn`t?

3000 USD and no midi 2.0 . I feel sorry for the sales guy who has to present this model as something "new".

[@equinoxpete]

It would have been nice if the interviewer stopped talking long enough to let him play it. You know, so we could hear how it sounds.

The other company on the planet who is upward compatible is nord(lead, modular)

Ca you buy your products in Canada? If so, who sells them, who services them

[@user-rk2xj8gr3h]

Sounds good, gents. But to be very honest nothing can surpassthe PC3K8 till now.

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

The biggest downside is the lack of illumination on around sliders/knobs. Nothing is legible in the dark.

Are you kidding ???
