    V.A.S.T. Capabilities, Infinite Creativity!

     

    Kurzweil asked ourselves, what if we could rebuild the legendary K2000 V.A.S.T. synthesizer, but using today’s technology?

     

    Enter the new K20 Series…

    From the world renown R&D facilities in Waltham, MA, the K20 Series represents the culmination of Kurzweil’s 30+ year evolution of V.A.S.T. technology, perfected through generations of venerable K2 synthesizers. With 32 customizable layers per program, massive polyphony and a host of creative hands-on controls, the K20 Series empowers you to craft expansive and nuanced sounds ranging from V.A.S.T. classics through yet unheard of soundscapes.
