About This Keyboard
This K2500XS is in excellent mechanical condition with everything working exactly as it should. The built in scsi adapter works well and can even have an internal HD added. Don't forget, it's got the sampling option already installed. All of the buttons work, the pitch bend works and all of the keys play well. Cosmetically it is in very good condition with just a few small scratches here and there. As an added bonus this one has the orchestral, contemporary & Piano ROM installed.
The K2500 is another evolution of the amazing Kurzweil Sampler - Synthesizer - Workstations. Using their excellent V.A.S.T. synthesis and a professional Sampler option (S models) and Sequencer this is truly an elegant synthesizer with a full keyboard of 76 semi-weighted keys (88 full-weighted piano style keys on the K2500X), 8 real-time sliders, 2 ribbon controllers, pitch and mod wheels and total MIDI controllability. The amazing sounds are contained on 8MB (up to 28MB) of sample ROM, expandable to 28MB using optional sound ROM boards! State-of-the-art sampling is also available on the K2500S and K2500XS with an astonishing 64MB of RAM standard! And that's expandable to 128MB! A 32 track interactive song arranger is also on-board allowing you to create various and complex sequences and songs which can be triggered from a variety of sources. This sequencer is no slacker with pattern, linear, and step recording, cut, copy, paste, advanced groove quantizing, event list editing and other powerful editing tools with up to 16 songs and 16 arrangement tracks. Add stereo outs, eight individual outs, dual SCSI ports, digital I/O and you've got yourself a professional 'Production Studio'.
As a synthesizer, the K2500 is likely one of the most professional and superior instruments available. Very programmable, flexible and excellent sounding as you would expect from Kurzweil, following the amazing K2000 synths. The V.A.S.T. variable architecture synthesis has 60 DSP functions, 438 preset programs (238 ROM, 200 RAM) and is capable of amazingly realistic acoustic instruments and a diverse range of analog synth sounds and other unique sounds complete with multi-effects and real-time MIDI control.
It is important to remember that when buying a used keyboard it may not operate or look exactly like a new one. Used keyboards develop wear over time that can cause such items as function buttons, knobs, sliders etc. to fail to operate as smoothly or easily as when they were new. Our technician does check these items and if they are deemed unusable they are replaced but some function buttons may require more pressure or manipulation to make the appropriate changes. Cosmetically your used keyboard may have scuffs, scratches, cracks to plastic pieces, discolored keys or other visual impairments that might not show up in the photos. We try to mention any obvious visual imperfections but may not consider them serious enough to post in the listing.
