Kurzweil
makes really great, high-end sampling keyboards, controllers and workstations. Kurzweil has long been
favored by top producers for studio work, and most pro studios have at least one hanging around for good measure.
Kurzweil Put To Work
“The only external sampler I own now is the Kurzweil K2600,” says Keith
Hillebrandt, the sonic mastermind behind all of the sounds in Nine
Inch Nails’ epic “The Fragile,” and the sound
designer/conceptualist behind the dark and gritty “Diffusion of Noise”
and “Useful Noise V.2” sonic libraries. “But I use that more for
the processing in the K2600 than for it being a sampler.”
