How It Was Recorded

Kurzweil K2000

Sampling workstation synthesiser, 1991 onwards. Sample-based digital synthesis (Kurzweil's VAST): ROM or user samples routed through selectable DSP algorithms such as filters, waveshaping and hard sync. Its flexible VAST architecture and optional sampling made it a studio staple of the 1990s.
