This is the story of how the present owner came to acquire this part of Pink Floyd history. How I Came To Be The Owner – By Chris J. The late Rick Wright’s Boat ‘Evrika’ was sold Dec 2011, At the time of the sale it was not immediately realized that on board was Rick’s Kurzweil K2000, that he had used on the PULSE tour & DVD.

I'd like to get a kurzweil for the pink floyd cover band. I'd like to use only one single synth for everything. Does that look feasible to you? If so which one should I get? Could I get away with just an old K2000S? (The newer K2500 and K2600 series are above my budget) The K2661 would be my upper limit as far as money goes but actually I don't find any info whether or not that one would be OK for my purpose.

And I don't even see how it is better than the K2000. If I get the K2000S I suppose I can easily sample all the sounds from the newer series and put them into the K2000S, no? FYI right now I'm using an XP50 workstation which is OK, I like how I can easily split the board in as many zones as I need and even fade additional sounds in and out with the control faders etc. But I have the feeling I might be better helped with a Kurzweil. Maybe I'm wrong. Give me your opinions please. I have a k2661 and I can send you some demos of the sound if you want.

This machine sound really extremely good. What kind of sounds are you looking for? (because, for example, atom heart mother is a very orchestral album, or maybe you want to modernize the sounds, etc).

I think everything for every kind of music is in the K2661 with good sound quality (which would be the same of a k2600 with more sounds, a little less controlers -without the super ribbon which you could add in the future- and less number of keys). In the smart media there are a lot of k2600, k2000 and k2500 sounds (I dont know if it has all the sounds, but it has a big big number of them). A great way to spend way more money than absolutely necessary, to do a simple job with an overcomplicated piece of kit. I dont feel that i have wasted money with my purchase, is like when we paid for a good food, or a a good TV, the price is given for the big quality and satisfaction that it brings to us. Of course you can get good things for less price, but is it the same good than very good or excellent?

In that instance we are paying for quality. What could be expensive is the machine that could not satisfy your expectations for a high prize. I have a question: have you had one of those machines? You said 'overcomplicated piece of kit'. I dont think it is overcomplicated, the thing is that everybody use to try different forms of options or order, just that.

I think every machine is overcomplicated when you do overcomplicated stuff. Thank you guys. And thanks for the heads up on the K2000. Now I googled a bit, it seems indeed unreliable.

So we'll be doing their more recent songs (say from Meddle and up) We might do some older ones too but I don't want to take those into account when choosing a synth. So I'd basically need the organs, a good acoustic piano (great gig in the sky), the synthy/string sounds that are all over the place, the analogue leads (e.g. The intro in 'shine on' part I, the outro of part VIII), bells, female ohhs and ahhs (we don't have those covered in the band ) etc. I DO have most of these sounds covered with the XP50. The strings are horrible and the analogue lead emulation is so-so but it gets the job done.
