Kurzweil KaP1
CurrentReleased 2024
The top of Kurzweil's home range, and the one with the proper action. Twenty-eight sounds rather than a thousand, four speakers in the cabinet and a single USB cable that carries both MIDI and audio, so it doubles as a weighted controller and an interface when you want it to. That isn't what it's for, but it's a genuine second life.
