Amazing! That's the only word to describe it!

Whatever your dreams as a musician, these incredible instruments give you the tools to reach your goal. All of the features you might want in an electronic musical instrument are right here! The instruments in the K Series contain hundreds of ultra-realistic, natural sounds that are praised for their authenticity and superb attention to detail. The huge range of remarkable synthetic timbres and multi-effects processors at your disposal means you can create any sound imaginable.

There's a 32-track sequencer with power that rivals computer-based programs, built-in SCSI, and a floppy drive. But most importantly, the K Series features the most powerful synthesis architecture on Earth: Kurzweil's exclusive Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology. VAST shatters the boundaries of synthesis, giving you an astounding array of fully programmable capabilities.

Want more sounds? The K2600 can read the samples from .WAV, .AIFF, Roland, Akai and Ensoniq-to say nothing of the standard-setting Sweetwater Sound libraries! If you need even more power, you can expand and upgrade your K2600 Series instrument to meet your every requirement. Add first-rate sampling (with digital and analog I/O), Sample RAM (up to 128MB), internal/external hard drives, Program RAM, ROM SoundBlock upgrades, and more! In addition to hardware upgrades, the K2600 protects you from obsolescence with instantly upgradable operating system software. The K2600 Series also includes the revolutionary KDFX 4-stereo-bus digital effects processor as standard equipment!
