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. Lots of SCSI gear available if you were to go this route. Getting in to really programming these things requires a lot of synthesis knowledge and homework.Ĭorrect me if I'm wrong, but piano is not a huge part of Floyd's repertoire. I actually have a K2600X that was allegedly programmed by one of his techs. The sounds are definitely not out of the box - anything that is programmed from the factory on any other keyboard (including Kurzweil) would only be an approximation. A K2000 (or K2500, K2600, PC3) indeed would be one of the best tools for creating Floyd sounds. Some are sold as Floyd collections while others are a few Floyd presets included with a variety of other presets.Īwesome PDF document! I liked the second-to-last paragraph on page 12. There are companies that have programmed and packaged the Floyd synth sounds aimed at different keyboards, some better representations than others. Acknowledging that some of this is subjective. Shine On You Crazy Diamond) and the last two studio albums encompass the Floyd synth sound rather than DSOTM or say Meddle.

One other thing, the Pink Floyd sound is not just the On the Run synth sounds which can be achieved relatively (stressed) easier.or rather that synth sound is more commonly available. 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. The 2000 series is also very heavy, things were supplied on floppy disks and they used outdated SCSI technology that you would have to accommodate. Those were usually worked up by Wright and techs. But you need to understand they do not come out of the box with Floyd sounds. I saw a pristine Kurzweil 2000 that had sat in someone's home practically unused go for $700 on ebay within the past few years.
