I just have to say, I love the K2700. I use Nuendo as my main DAW with the K2700 as a main controller. Just as a controller, it shines. The controllers are in right place, the buttons are nice and big and the keyboard action is fantastic. But it’s also a phenomenal synth with insanely deep sound design capabilities. It has parameter values that make sense; Frequency in Hz, amplitude in db, Pitch in steps and cents, etc. but what really is remarkable is that I can absolutely slam the engine with note and control data from the Daw and my hardware sequencers and it’s super tight. Flawless really. It’s like having Kontakt & Serum built into an actual playable instrument with zero latency. Unmatched.
I bought K2700 but why factory presets on my K2700 don't sound like the ones that are demoed in the video? For example, the Velvet Grand starting at 4:22 is so nice and crisp in the video but on my K2700 it's very muddy? I really haven't changed anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I see the drum pads, I've not seen a single video, anywhere online, that highlights the drum pads or the k2700's ability to easily create beats like a drum machine. Does such a video exist?
Well, that's kind of something that not just a professional keyboard can do but many cheaper arrangers. I think at the K2700s price point, you're appealing to more studio musicians than only performers.
I like Kurzweil because they don't sound artificially digital. Not a knock on other workstation manufacturers. But the K series keyboards just have a warmth to their sound.
Can this keyboard be reverted so I can play right hand part of a melody with left hand and vice-versa? Also, does it allow setting notes to keys, so I can make a mirrored keyboard at D4, for example, to play the same pattern with the same fingers over the same notes in right and left parts of keyboard?
Chris Snidow I need help to use multis in song mode. And other questions. Can anyone help out? I wonder if I might be able to pay someone for their time with this?
I want to buy it, but want to know first if it is possible to fully use it also as a DAW controller (Logic), using all the sliders and knobs as a midi controller. Is it easily possible? I couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I know this comment’s old but If it does MIDI over USB then I can’t see why it wouldn’t integrate with a DAW from that alone. At the very least you should be able to with a MIDI interface but I think that would be overkill. As far as mapping MIDI to your different board functions that surely must be possible but I’m not sure of the process. I’m also not familiar with Logic myself, more of an Ableton guy. Need to do more research on that.

As far as I know, nyet. But you can upload your sound files (eg record your own voice etc) and manipulate it using all the VAST synthesis and large array of Kurzweil effects.
The playing is astoundingly great and shows off the instrument’s great potential. Thanks.

Killer Demo! Great job Jim :)
Great sounds and playing! Sold!

That CP80 with added chorus sounds soooo sweet. I have to test it on my PC4-7 👍
Ensoniq… I miss you so much…
Thank you Jim. Now I have to go practice.
I like these old videos. My grandpa had this keyboard. Great time.
I'm a solo artist and vocalist. I have yet to see them show how to use the pads and recording sequencer to write a cover song on the fly....
Well KURZWEIL ‚s native sounds are already just beautiful
Kurzweil always have great orchestral patches.

Yea this ain’t that board. Roland Fantom-0 or mpc key 37/61 will suit you better if you looking for a board that’s made to make songs on
@@tyreepenn-hasan6307That's not true at all lol
I think they missed the mark by not releasing a 73 Keys either weighted or Semi-weighted more compact version of this keyboard 😞
Espectacular. Saludos desde el sur de Chile.

That CP80 is fantastic
Which music stores in Canada sell Kurzweil keyboards ?
How does this compare to a Yamaha YC?
Fantastic
the ribbon controller 👍
how make a backing click track and be able to play along with that track?
Fantastic sound! Wich speakers would you recommend for the k2700?
supreme
Super!

Yes
Can I connect a DAW and capture my AUDIO performance over USB? How many "channels" are transmitted simultaneously - 2, 4 or more?
Yes.
16.

Yes
Does this make a good DAW controller also? Is the sequencer usable?
Yes
@@Zwopper Thank you!
How is this different than the PC3/4?
To the PC3 - a little.
To the PC4 - only physical differences, the same engine and technical specs.
The organ isn’t quite loud enough. Can you turn it up, please? 😳

How does this compare to Montage-8?
This is light years better on all accounts.
Does the K2700 any sampling options?
As far as I know, nyet. But you can upload your sound files (eg record your own voice etc) and manipulate it using all the VAST synthesis and large array of Kurzweil effects.
@@etme1000 oh, so I will be able install my prerecorded custom sounds, but not sample directly into K2700. That’s great
@@JoelBouchillonI had a K2000R and I made samples in it.
Wonder how this compares to korg nautilus?
This wins BIG time.
Does it have rythmns, backing tracks ?
yes it has a full 16 track sequencer that can be programmed to be triggered in many different ways.
It's not an arranger keyboard but if you put some efforts into it, it can be done.
Yes
20:49 !
This thing has got nothing on a Korg M1. 😅
Why so many duff old organ sounds? This is a high-specced synth workstation. Old duffers can get their crusty naff sounds elsewhere...
Awwww, did those sounds make you soil your pink thong?
Because we’re the ones with the money for this.
@@Coowallsky lol!
@@xp50player…exactly 😊
This can do everything! ❤
