Title link takes you to a Kurzweil VA 1 site sent my way via Roger. You'll find video, mp3s, images and more. I found the videos best played by downloading all of them and then loading them all up to play one after the other as one piece. The VA 1 prototype was shown at Frankfurt back in 2004. It was never released, and most of us just assumed Kurzweil canceled the project, however earlier this year there was a rumor that it might be coming this year. If anyone knows anything about it, please feel free to comment. I'm curious as to how many prototypes were made and if any are floating around out there.

Can it synthesize the sound of a yawn?
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad there's no ribbon controller on it...why else would you want a Kurzweil if not for their AWSOME ribbon controllers? Hmmmmmmm???
ReplyDeletei thought this thing was never going to come out
ReplyDeleteand knowing kurz, if it does come out it will be at least 3000+
looks kinda sexy tho
the rack version will pr'lly be around $3000. the keyboard versins pr'lly gonna be +$7000. as far as a yawn? i dunno, the k2ks intergrated sampling with synthesis which was kind of unique at the time it wsa first made. function generators are rad and the only other synths i can think of that have them are the microwave and reaktor. their stuff's just ridiculously overpriced.... and ray kurzweil's kind of scary.
ReplyDeletestill, the singularity is near!
Singularity is the new big bang.
