Description
The Kurzweil K2061 is a powerful 61-key workstation that brings the legendary K-series sound and V.A.S.T. synthesis into a modern, performance-ready package. With 256 voices of polyphony, 32-layer Dynamic V.A.S.T. architecture, 2 GB of factory sounds and 2 GB of user sample memory, it is built for players, producers and sound designers who need deep programmability, huge sonic range and rock-solid control on stage or in the studio. Drawing on over three decades of Kurzweil innovation, the K2061 combines advanced synthesis engines, studio-quality effects and a comprehensive controller set with an intuitive colour display and streamlined workflow tools. From classic K2 pads and cutting leads to cutting-edge textures, evolving soundscapes and performance-ready splits, it gives you the tools to create, customise and perform without compromise. Dynamic V.A.S.T. and Multi-Engine Power At the heart of the K2061 is Kurzweil’s Dynamic V.A.S.T. engine, now expanded to 32 layers per programme with user-programmable DSP algorithms and routing. You can build complex signal paths, chain layers in Cascade Mode and combine V.A.S.T. with the onboard 6-operator FM engine, VA1-derived virtual analogue oscillators and KB3 ToneReal organ modelling. This multi-engine approach lets you move effortlessly from authentic vintage emulations to completely new, hybrid sounds that simply are not possible on simpler workstations. Huge Sound Library with Deep Expansion Out of the box, the K2061 offers 2 GB of factory samples feeding 2042 factory programmes and 587 factory multis, covering everything from Kurzweil’s renowned pianos, EPs and organs to strings, synths, basses, guitars and more. Many favourites from the K2000, K2500, K2600, K2700, Forte, PC4, PC3 and SP6 are reimagined and updated, giving you a ready-to-go palette for any genre. With 2 GB of non-volatile user flash memory and support for multiple Kurzweil and standard audio formats, you can import, build and curate your own library while maintaining backwards compatibility with decades of classic Kurzweil content. Performance Control and Creative Flow The 61-note synth-action Fatar TP/9 keybed with velocity and aftertouch gives you a responsive, expressive playing surface, ideal for fast synth work and detailed sound shaping. Around it, the K2061 provides a wealth of hands-on control: sliders, knobs, buttons, wheels, a three-section ribbon, pedal inputs and dedicated transport, arpeggiator and tempo controls. With up to 16 zones per multi, 16 programmable arpeggiators, 16 MIDI CC step sequencers and 16 Riffs, you can build intricate, interactive performance setups that respond in real time. Modern Workflow and Connectivity The bright 4.3-inch colour LCD makes it easy to navigate sounds, edit parameters and manage complex setups, with multiple view modes, category browsing, search, QuickAccess and Program Demo functions to keep you moving quickly. Four balanced TRS outputs, stereo audio inputs with onboard FX, MIDI I/O and comprehensive USB MIDI and storage support integrate the K2061 seamlessly into live rigs and studio environments. External editor software for Mac, PC and iPad lets you go even deeper into programming while keeping the front panel focused on performance. Key Features Dynamic V.A.S.T. with Multi-Engine Synthesis – The K2061’s 32-layer Dynamic V.A.S.T. engine, Cascade Mode, KB3 organ modelling, 6-operator FM and VA1-derived virtual analogue oscillators give you a uniquely flexible sound design environment. Build everything from classic K-series tones to complex hybrids, tailoring every stage of the signal path to your music. Extensive Sound Library and 2 GB User Memory – With 2 GB of factory samples, over 2000 programmes and hundreds of multis, you have an instant toolkit for live and studio work. A further 2 GB of non-volatile user flash memory lets you import and store your own samples and legacy Kurzweil content, so your signature sounds are always ready to load and play.…
