I saw a pristine Kurzweil 2000 that had sat in someone's home practically unused go for $700 on ebay within the past few years. PF was using them for the last tour. But you need to understand they do not come out of the box with Floyd sounds.

Those were usually worked up by Wright and techs. The 2000 series is also very heavy, things were supplied on floppy disks and they used outdated SCSI technology that you would have to accommodate. I was looking for something to get those sounds and did some reading about the 2000 series but my knowledge of them is very limited and someone like Anotherscott here would be able to clarify things. Here is a PDF listing.

One other thing, the Pink Floyd sound is not just the On the Run synth sounds which can be achieved relatively (stressed) easier.or rather that synth sound is more commonly available. In my mind the Wish You Were Here (i.e.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond) and the last two studio albums encompass the Floyd synth sound rather than DSOTM or say Meddle. Acknowledging that some of this is subjective. There are companies that have programmed and packaged the Floyd synth sounds aimed at different keyboards, some better representations than others. Some are sold as Floyd collections while others are a few Floyd presets included with a variety of other presets. Awesome PDF document! I liked the second-to-last paragraph on page 12. A K2000 (or K2500, K2600, PC3) indeed would be one of the best tools for creating Floyd sounds.

The sounds are definitely not out of the box -- anything that is programmed from the factory on any other keyboard (including Kurzweil) would only be an approximation. I actually have a K2600X that was allegedly programmed by one of his techs. I don't know the validity of that. Getting in to really programming these things requires a lot of synthesis knowledge and homework. Correct me if I'm wrong, but piano is not a huge part of Floyd's repertoire. Lots of SCSI gear available if you were to go this route.

The 3.5' floppy is a bit of an Achilles Heal of the older K-series, but with USB floppy drives you can still load things on from modern computers and all that stuff. If you want to get in to some true synthesis (or even dive deeper in to controlling the Rom), you definitely want a keyboard with pitch/mod wheels, aftertouch, and preferably a ribbon control as well. Pedal inputs are a huge plus, as well as plenty of assignable knobs and faders. You can also get Kurzweil rack synths pretty cheap on eBay, but you'd still want to make sure your controllers have all the goodies mentioned above. Kurzweil pc3: and there's an incredible amount of downloadable PF patches available for download once you start looking. PC3 series has been out for a while, so there must be bargains in the second hand market if you search for it and take your time. With a Casio you won't get even close to the typical PF sound which has a definite Kurzweil signature.

Go look for a pc3 (PC 361, pc3, PC3x - I assume pc3k series is still too expensive). Get the latest firmware updates, download as many patches as you can find from kurzweil fora and also google for pf patches. - 11/25/13 07:13 AM Re: Good Pink Floyd Keyboard/Synthesizer [] Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 100 Full Member Full Member Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 100. A good synth for the money is the Casio XW-P1. The link below is a sound demo for the PX-5S (above your price limit) - there is a similar patch available for the XW-P1. Some more demos you might find useful I completely disagree with the OP statement that 'With a Casio you won't get even close to the typical PF sound'.

I spent a reasonable amount of time with the XW-P1 and you should be able to get the sorts of sound you require with some programming effort. If you can get a used PC3 in good condition within your budget then, as the OP said, this is a very capable synth (IMO) and I think you would prefer it to the XW-P1 but for $500 I think you will be struggling to find a more capable synth (new). That being said I would be inclined to wait until after NAMM 2014 if you can (2 months away). I would not recommend the PX-3 for Pink Floyd style music as it is really a stage piano with limited (IMO) synth capability - I own one.

PF did a lot with synths and On the Run is not really typical Pink Floyd. It is just one of many famous songs and it happens to center around a synth.

If you were successful getting more than the On the Run sounds, which are relatively common (note I am not saying anything about being able to perform the music), can you post examples of what you achieved? The linked example sounds like a toy version of the original gear. Sure there is a synth bed of strings in Gm that sort of gets the idea across. But everything lacks the inherent sophistication of the real thing. The OP doesn't sound like they are expecting an exact replication. If someone wants to play around this is adequate. Even on a Kurzweil, which PF used, available PF presets miss the mark to some degree in most cases.

A side note (my opinion), of all custom PF presets I have heard nothing tops those tweaked by Jon Carin (including Richard Wright's) but he began with Wright's originals and everything was done for the Kurzweil 2000 series. - 11/26/13 01:19 AM Re: Good Pink Floyd Keyboard/Synthesizer [] Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 100 Full Member Full Member Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 100.
