Pink Floyd Patch Kurzweil Keyboard How To Play PianoI know the basics of how to play piano but I know nothing about keyboards or synthesizer (I dont even know what the difference is). I agree that the User Manual is very good. March 2019. I can hardly can hear any difference between the piano sounds of those two, they are about as good. Garritan CFX, Production Grand 2 Gold, Concert Grand LE, AcousticSamples C7, NI Giant, Sampletekk White Grand, Choc. But you need to understand they do not come out of the box with Floyd sounds. The 2000 series is also very heavy, things were supplied on floppy disks and they used outdated SCSI technology that you would have to accommodate. I was looking for something to get those sounds and did some reading about the 2000 series but my knowledge of them is very limited and someone like Anotherscott here would be able to clarify things. In my mind the Wish You Were Here (i.e. Shine On You Crazy Diamond) and the last two studio albums encompass the Floyd synth sound rather than DSOTM or say Meddle. There are companies that have programmed and packaged the Floyd synth sounds aimed at different keyboards, some better representations than others. Some are sold as Floyd collections while others are a few Floyd presets included with a variety of other presets. A K2000 (or K2500, K2600, PC3) indeed would be one of the best tools for creating Floyd sounds. I actually have a K2600X that was allegedly programmed by one of his techs. Getting in to really programming these things requires a lot of synthesis knowledge and homework. Correct me if Im wrong, but piano is not a huge part of Floyds repertoire. Lots of SCSI gear available if you were to go this route. The 3.5 floppy is a bit of an Achilles Heal of the older K-series, but with USB floppy drives you can still load things on from modern computers and all that stuff. If you want to get in to some true synthesis (or even dive deeper in to controlling the Rom), you definitely want a keyboard with pitchmod wheels, aftertouch, and preferably a ribbon control as well. Pedal inputs are a huge plus, as well as plenty of assignable knobs and faders. You can also get Kurzweil rack synths pretty cheap on eBay, but youd still want to make sure your controllers have all the goodies mentioned above. PC3 series has been out for a while, so there must be bargains in the second hand market if you search for it and take your time. With a Casio you wont get even close to the typical PF sound which has a definite Kurzweil signature. Go look for a pc3 (PC 361, pc3, PC3x - I assume pc3k series is still too expensive).
