Kurzweil K2061/K2088 Tutorial: Juno-60 Analog Expansion (part 1)

video upload by Kurzweil Music Systems

"In this video, we take a deep dive into the Kurzweil K2061/K2088 and explore creative V.A.S.T. programming inspired by the legendary Juno-60 sound.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. We’ll build the patch you heard at the beginning completely from scratch, using only a single saw wave as our starting point.

Rather than recreating a vintage synth directly, this patch expands on the Juno’s classic single-oscillator architecture — demonstrating how Kurzweil’s powerful V.A.S.T. synthesis engine can transform a simple waveform into something far deeper and more expressive.

In this episode, you’ll see how to:
• Design a full synth patch from a single oscillator
• Shape tone using VAST DSP architecture
• Create movement and depth with Kurzweil FX
• Use physical controllers to add expression and performance dynamics
• Push beyond traditional analog limitations while preserving classic character

The goal is simple: show just how much is possible with one waveform, thoughtful programming, and the immense flexibility of VAST.

Featuring Kurzweil Artist Kash Iyengar.
