Kurzweil K2000 Legendary 90's Digital VAST Synthesiser Workstation - 240V

The Kurzweil K2000 is a digital workstation synthesiser released by Kurzweil in 1991, built around the company’s V.A.S.T. (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) engine. It offers 24-voice polyphony, advanced synthesis, extensive MIDI control, and a powerful internal effects system. Units like this one, fitted with the Orchestral ROM expansion include additional high-quality acoustic instrument waveforms—such as strings, brass, and woodwinds—expanding the factory sound set for scoring and ensemble work. The K2000 became widely respected for its depth, sound quality, and flexibility, and remains a cornerstone of early-1990s professional workstation design.

  • This K2000 has had a minor service. All issues and faulty components were replaced and every tact switch was replaced with a brand new one.

  • This unit has the Orchestral Rom expansion installed.

  • This unit has the fan replaced in the past.
