The K2000VPR, like its predecessor, the legendary K2000R, is a 24 voice,16Channel Multi-Timbral, V.A.S.T.? synthesizer workstation with 32-tracksequencer. The K2000VPR is a complete, cost effective, total solution forthe first time buyer or accomplished pro. The features, versatility andexpandability of the K2000VPR make it the only keyboard you will ever need.Kurzweil's Award-Winning InstrumentsSynthesis as we know it is all about limitations. Analog synthesis was expressivebut hard to control. Then came digital synthesis which is precise and punchy, butlacking the warmth of analog. Digital sampling can emulate all these technologies(not to mention acoustic instruments) but it can't always capture all theirrealtime dynamics.As a result of all these "buts," synth players have always been forced to own awhole stack of instruments - each one great for certain sounds, but not forothers.The launch of Kurzweil's K2000 Series of professional instruments meant the endof synthesis as we know it. The end of limitations.Sound never before imaginableWhat makes it all possible is a new technology called V.A.S.T.? (VariableArchitecture Synthesis Technology). V.A.S.T. allows you to take any multisample,noise or waveform and process it using just about any synthesis technique everdevised. And many brand new techniques that are rich in untapped sonic potential.It's like having all known synthesizers under one control panel.Great synthesized sounds start with great basic sound sources. The K2000VPR isstocked with 8 megabytes of the highest-quality multisamples in Kurzweil history.We went to ancient castles and world-class recording studios to capture eachinstrument in the best possible sonic environment. Wherever incredible sound isfound, we've sampled it for the K2000VPR. And because of the 32-bit internalprecision into 18-bit DACs, the sounds are crystal clear.But that's just the start. You can expand the K2000VPR's sonic base by addingaffordable SIMMs chips, which can provide up to 64 megabytes of onboard RAM. Theentire Kurzweil Sound Library as well as third party soundware, will be availableon 3.5" floppy disks. The K2000VPR can accept MIDI standard sample dumps. Andthere's even a sampling option that will let the K2000VPR sample analog or directdigital sources in stereo. Its timbral possibilities are...well...V.A.S.T..Control never before possibleTo harness all this sonic clout, the K2000VPR has a user interface that's asthorough as it is easy to use. The edit facilities are extensive. And many keyparameters can be modified in realtime, via the front panel or MIDI, for maximumexpressiveness and nuance in performance. In multitimbral mode, it can operate onall 16 channels simultaneously. And for those who are most comfortable withcomputer-assisted sound editing and system configuration, the K2000VPR is amplysupported by third-party software developers.V.A.S.T. - A new beginning.Voice architecture on a grand scale.The K2000 has 24-voice polyphony with up to four oscillators per voice, allowingyou to achieve incredibly fat timbres without having to sacrifice voices bylayering them. All sound sources are 16-bit linear format. The K2000's 8megabytes of onboard ROM include 200 sound programs and 168 keymaps, providingessentials such as pianos, strings, brass, guitars, bass, drum kits, percussion,attack transients, loops and waveforms. And that's just the beginning.31 sound-shaping algorithms.The algorithms provide the basic sonic building blocks - a wealth of synthesistechniques. Each algorithm has up to three configurable digital signal processorsper voice. These include a wide variety of resonant filters, Eqs, and other DSPfunctions such as continuous panning, amplitude modulation, crossfade,distortion, digital wrap, waveshaper, pulse width modulation, high frequencyenhancement, low frequency oscillators, hard sync oscillators and mixingoscillators. All DSP functions offer realtime control of their parameters throughany MIDI control or the flexible internal modulation sources.High-powered layering and modulation options.Programs contain up to three layers except for drum programs, which can containa big 32 layers, each of which can have its own custom DSP treatment. Internalmodulation sources per layer include three eight-segment envelopes with realtimerate control and looping, two attack/sustain/release generators, two LFOs and twovelocity triggers. Functions for controlling modulation sources include mixers,negators, invertors, sample and hold, quantize, lag, ramp, shape and many more.Serious onboard digital effects.A true stereo multi-effects processor, capable of four simultaneous effectsincluding reverb, chorus, delay, multitap delay, flange, rotary simulation anda roomful of others.Flexible output routing.Ten polyphonic audio outputs, configured as a stereo master pair plus eightseparate outputs. The separate outs can double as insert points, allowingexternal effects to be used and returned to the master stereo output pair.Limitless sound storage.There's room for hundreds of user-created programs. Additional programs can beaccommodated via the built-in 3.5" floppy disk drive, internal hard drive, orvia external hard disks and optical media connected to the K2000's SCSI port.
