Emax

Hello David,

Yes, I own both. The K2500 operating system and features are much more
sophisticated than the Emax 2 and the sound is also quite different.
The K2500 sample playback is very clean, and can of course be
processed by the VAST DSP engine, but lacks what I can only describe
as the grain and bite of the Emax 2. The K2500 can also only transpose
samples up about one octave (or two at reduced fidelity) whereas the
Emax 2 can go up 5 octaves. But the K2500 supports 44.1kHz and 48kHz
sampling rates and the sampling option provides digital I/O. When I
originally changed from an Emax 2 to a K2000 I must admit I was a bit
disappointed by the sound of the Kurzweil, but at today's prices you
can easily afford to have both :)
