Back to the question, as I'm trying to find pro sounding banks as examples of how a hollywood bound musical arrangement would sound if they paid big bucks for the sound bank. I assume, like piano sounds, there are expensive versions of this which studios now use instead of having an organ in the corner of the studio.



This is exactly what the new Kurzweil PC3K is designed to do in addition to being a great all around gigging keyboard for a regular schlep like me. I remember reading articles years ago in Keyboard magazine about studios using the K2500 or 2600 for exactly that kind of thing and I've read interviews with musical directors of repertory companies who have a K2600 set up to handle all the music in a live show using custom sounds setups involving sequences and live playing. Some of the new vids for the PC3K talk about how Kurz was being begged by these same guys to come up with a new board as a replacement for those old K's because they've been used constantly for over 15 years now and are wearing out. The just released K series is called the K because 'almost' all of the old samples/patches etc from the K2600 will load right in so these guys can carry on with a brand new much improved keyboard. There's tons of other keyboards that have great sounds but there's something about Kurz's VAST programming system that these very high level sound designers love and they must have another Kurz.
