Excellent DM feel & love your LED:ed backdrop. Have you thought about getting a white backlight to your kurz' display? I saw examples of that and it's GREAT. I will be getting a K2000RS to load my old eps/asr disks and hopefully find something decent (to tweak) there to begin with. I am a software guy since like late 2000 when Reason came out but I also find a lot of joy & inspiration with hardware. When it sounds great I sample it and create Reason refills.

Not too many K2000 videos on youtube, so this was interesting. Those were some mean-ass quirky sounds. :) IMO this vid just underlines Kurzweil's design philosophy of non-obsolesence. ~20 years and this unit is still perky as ever!
Wow. edjwise is right when he mentions how rare demos like this are. I picked one of these a number of years ago for super cheap and never really wrapped my mind around how to create patches like this. Is there any chance you could do a video tutorial on killer k2k programming?
Haha, I should have mentioned that the K2000's default piano is one of the most bland programs it has. I played it out just as an A/B comparison.
That default program was the main reason I decided to make this video, simply showing the results that can be achieve using even the worst the K2 has to offer as a starting point. Great post!
wow man great video, that synth is a dark beast!

Thanks buddy. Yeah, I looked into the white LED, but it wasn't bright enough. I changed this LED twice and this was the brightest of them all.

Glad you liked this.
I'm going to produce two more K2000 virtual analog tutorials.
One for stereo panning and the other for routing/phasing techniques.
Thanks for the interest.
