A VAST Improvement?This section describes features common to both the rack versions of the K2500 (K2500R and K2500RS) as well as the keyboard versions of the K2500 (K2500, K2500S, K2500X, and K2500XS).
New SoundsA new soundset of 200 programs and 100 setups is available, including a whole new selection of custom drum samples, which are very good indeed. I have often found the K2000 to be somewhat sluggish in multitimbral mode, and the K2500R's new 25MHz Motorola 68340 CPU represents a significant improvement in processing power. Each of the 48 voices can have its own DSP treatment, if required. The now familiar VAST (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) system provides the basic sound architecture, offering 60 different DSP functions arranged in 31 algorithms.
The review machine came fitted with the optional sampling upgrade, which gives a choice of both analogue (via low‑impedance XLRs or high‑impedance stereo jack) and digital (optical or electrical RCA/SPDIF) recording. A pair of SCSI connectors give access to external storage media, such as hard drives, CD ROMs or magneto‑optical drives. Ins And OutsAs might be expected in a professional rack synth these days, the panels are awash with useful sockets, including a master stereo pair and a healthy complement of eight audio outputs (which can also double as inserts). The programs and setups do the machine more justice than those which graced the K2000, and are certainly arranged in a much more logical manner. Having played the two machines side by side, I can report that any differences are subtle, although the overall output of the K2500R does seem slightly cleaner and brighter.

Thankfully, Kurzweil supply a K2000 compatibility diskette to help in these instances. Compatibility with existing K2000 libraries is assured, although this may involve one or two tweaks, due to changes in some keymaps and those new drum samples. It's also capable of reading AIFF and WAV sample files. Sample Format CompatibilityCompatibility with other manufacturers' sample libraries has become a must in today's sampler market, and the K2500R retains Kurzweil's commitment to providing access to Roland, Akai and Ensoniq libraries. Happily, the K2500R incorporates all of these features, and one or two more.
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. While everyone else is out soaking up the sun and dodging the North Sea sewage, I will do my duty as a committed reviewer and lock myself away to produce the full review for next month's SOS. Stay Tuned!Despite what you might have heard, fully working models of the K2500R have been in this country for such a short while that there hasn't been time to produce an in‑depth review of the K2500R before this issue of SOS goes to print.
