Kurzweil K2700
An 88-key synthesizer workstation with V.A.S.T. synthesis and extensive sample content
Overview
The Kurzweil K2700 is a full-sized music workstation built around the company's V.A.S.T. (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) engine. The keyboard has 88 notes, Italian hammer action, velocity and aftertouch. That puts it in professional performance and production territory. It carries 4.5GB of factory sample content and 3.5GB of user storage, enough for complex sound design and playback. It continues the K2 series, Kurzweil's long-running line of expandable, high-polyphony workstations.
