Yeah thats the point. Does it makes sense to have it nowdays?The Piano is something people love. I have a Roland 5050 so i don't know if it makes any sense to buy another 90's module.EvilDragon wrote:That's a pretty good price considering it used to have a zero on top in the 90s.
The search for a Kurzweil K2000 piano soundalike VST

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

The K2000 piano is sub par. Just listen to the sustain - it sounds BAD by today's standards.
I had a K2500 which I got rid of and has the same pianos.
The Kurzweil piano that people love is the Triple Strike Piano patch on the K2600 onwards - look this one up perhaps!

Totally agree - while the K2000 really has a great sound potential otherwise, the Pianos are crap.

Yeah, it's quite similar sounding to the MicroPiano - it's not a "good" sound, it's small and a bit plastic sounding, but it's enough of it's own unique character to be interesting. Sometimes a 20GB Bosendorfer isn't the right thing to put in a rock mix, whereas a little, bright cheap sound can cut through in just the right way...aMUSEd wrote:The Kurzweil piano I love is this one (cleverly relabelled):

I think it sounds very full and not at all plastic - but I think she's using a PC3X which probably has expanded samples compared to the earlier models.

PC3 has the same piano samples as K2600.aMUSEd wrote: but I think she's using a PC3X which probably has expanded samples compared to the earlier models.

So the way I see it, there is a market niche for characteristic Kurzweil sounds in sample form to use on your PC or MAC? I wonder why nobody has made a Kontakt library yet. It would be a good seller for sure...

Because you can't resell someone else's recordings without licensing them from Kurzweil, something they probably aren't keen on ("Get the awesome Kurzweil sound without having to buy a Kurzweil!")fischkopf wrote:So the way I see it, there is a market niche for characteristic Kurzweil sounds in sample form to use on your PC or MAC?

I've had the PC1X 000-stereo grand patch sampled, if anyone interested, please let me know.
I'll share it freely here.
(but need sometime to cut and naming the samples because i've only done the highest velocity samples, two more velocities to go)

Amazing, well I can see why Amanda likes it, it does sound great considering the sample size, much better than I have heard from equivalent workstations at least.EvilDragon wrote:PC3 has the same piano samples as K2600.aMUSEd wrote: but I think she's using a PC3X which probably has expanded samples compared to the earlier models.

Huh...again, so we are not allowed to create and share any patch that we self-sampled as freebie?beely wrote:Because you can't resell someone else's recordings without licensing them from Kurzweil, something they probably aren't keen on ("Get the awesome Kurzweil sound without having to buy a Kurzweil!")fischkopf wrote:So the way I see it, there is a market niche for characteristic Kurzweil sounds in sample form to use on your PC or MAC?
