as I said before, Kurzweil keyboards are not unknown to me. Even so, the sounds of the K2500 are not to be compared to what we are talking about here. These keyboards were some of the best in their heyday, but let me say that at that price ,a Kurzweil now would be at the bottom of my list.

You, on the other hand, have no idea how much more powerful is a library like Eastwest's Symphony Orchestra compared to the orchestral sounds on the K2500. My point is simply that Wivi offers a degree of playability that I have not heard about before on PC. You can talk about the K2500 as much as you want, but the fact is, we are talking about sample libraries and software, not hardware workstations. The K2500 is a great instrument, but certainly not the best and with that money I can buy better, a Liontracs is a case in point.

Frankly, even a Roland Juno G is a killer modern workstation and has more features than the K2500 , at about a fourth of the price or less. Does it have the breath controller? Don't know. What is important to me is not the breath controller per se, but the fact that ,as in the Wivi video, I can control a lot of real ACOUSTIC (not synthesized) nuances with a breath controller. On the K2500 ,what can you control? LFO, vibrato, filter cutoff?
Wow. Big deal.
