Members TechEverlasting Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 There is no "best" instrument. You've got to consider what you want to do with it, what your budget is and what floats your boat musically. For my purposes the important difference between the K2600 and instruments like the PC2 and proposed PC3 is that the K2 series can load user samples. Since I've created a lot of my own sampled instruments and have a large library of commercial samples this is crucial for me. With the K2 instruments I'm mostly processing my own samples, so the ancient K2 factory waveforms aren't a big drawback. You might not have any interest in loading samples, which would make the PC2 more attractive. I'm not certain that the PC3 will ever be released, but we'll see. I wouldn't hold off on buying something you'll use to make music now because you're waiting for a promised release of a new Kurzweil product.

Members idiotboy Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 .....all PC2 users running on Windows. No Mac version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prog Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Just to get a bit sidetracked ... I thought Macs had some sort of "Windows emulator" capability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idiotboy Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 Newer Macs have that capability built in, and older Macs can run a third-party app to achieve this. But running a native Mac version is typically faster and more stable. Not a big issue these days, but I have an "older" Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cowzar Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 I'm not certain that the PC3 will ever be released, but we'll see. Mate!!Do you follow Kurzweils MYSPACE at all?http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=203414988Go and read it then come back..... and when you do, stop speculating.

Members TechEverlasting Posted September 13, 2007 Members Share Posted September 13, 2007 Go and read it then come back..... and when you do, stop speculating. Yeah right. Show me the product, otherwise you are speculating just as much as I am.I still remember waiting two years for the KDFX to finally be available for the K2500 after repeated promises that it was "almost ready, one or two weeks at the most..." I hope the PC3 is the most brilliant electronic instrument ever in the history of the world, and I'm especially happy to hear that this time they have DSP oscillators that don't alias in the high registers. I still stand by my statement that it doesn't make sense to hold off on purchasing an instrument you can make music on now because you are waiting for Kurzweil to release something in the future.
