Kurzweil K2600XS 88-Key Digital Sampling Workstation Synthesizer 2000s - Black

Comes with original box and a freshly replaced clock battery! A couple of screws seem to be missing (as pictured) and some of the screw heads are a little rough. The synth plays wonderfully and is tested and working well. Weighing in at 72 lbs. this was the best sampling workstation you could get back in the 1990's, replacing the K2500 series. With 32 tracks of sequencing real feel weighted piano keys and just about every sound you'd ever need. Keep in mind this relic of the synth past will show its age on some of the onboard patches while others are ageless. This was the go to for a lot of pros and you can hear the Kurzweil pianos and orchestra patches on tons of hits from yesteryear.

About the K2600XS:

The Evolution of Sound Continues

Professionals around the world use Kurzweil instruments for all their production needs. From Film Studios and composers to the U.S. Government, Kurzweil delivers the quality and award-winning audio that is required by the best.

Continuing this tradition, Kurzweil is proud to offer the K2600. Fully compatible with all models that Kurzweil offers, professionals can continue their work without interruption, always confident that archived work will be compatible.

Building on Kurzweil's world-renowned operating system, the K2600 can do more than ever before. The new operating system expands the algorithms from 32 to 127 with Kurzweil's exclusive Triple Modular Processing. The K2600 is the complete workstation - allowing the user to work from concept to completion without changing from station to station. The K2600XS adds a sampling option.

Non-Obsolescence

Kurzweil is known for quality instruments that are upgraded, not outdated. All K2000 and K2500 Series libraries are forward compatible with the K2600. That is how Kurzweil was able to build the largest sound library in the world. In addition, Kurzweil reads other major formats directly into the system for use with its V.A.S.T. architecture. New operating systems and options are always being created, expanding an artist's power while preserving his investment in time and programming.

V.A.S.T.

Kurzweil's award-winning proprietary Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology (V.A.S.T.) is the state-of-the-art synthesis system, giving an artist powerful expression not available with any other brand. V.A.S.T. can accurately model or emulate many synthesis processes offered by the competition, past or present. In addition, V.A.S.T. has many processes not available anywhere else. A simple comparison will prove the K2600 is the clear choice for any sound professional.
