Brand: Kurzweil

CurrentReleased 2019

Kurzweil's performance controller and the cheapest way into Dynamic VAST. Under the pianos and the thousand-odd programs is a proper programmable synth, where every layer is a rewireable chain of DSP blocks, and Cascade Mode lets you feed one layer through another's processing up to thirty-two deep. Nine sliders double as drawbars for the KB3 organ.
