A total beast onstage and in the studio
Kurzweil packed the K2061 with its industry-leading technologies to create a masterful keyboard workstation that can do no wrong. While the K2061 is an exemplary plug-and-play performance keyboard, its real magic lies in its considerable sound design potential, which is powered by Kurzweils renowned V.A.S.T. editing, a 6-operator FM synth engine, a powerful 16-track sequencer, a complement of arpeggiators, studio-grade onboard effects, and more. On top of that, the K2061 comes equipped with an integrated USB audio interface for recording into your favorite DAW right from the workstation. Designed for composers, arrangers, sound designers, and touring musicians alike, the K2061 astounds with its massive capabilities and peerless Kurzweil pedigree!
Extensive hands-on, real-time control
Equipped with dozens of programmable physical controllers, the K2061 provides the immediacy of hands-on, real-time control. The intuitive, streamlined user interface consists of a bright, high-resolution color LCD with six soft keys underneath, dedicated front-panel transposition and tempo controls, pitch bend and modulation wheels, a 3-section ribbon controller, nine programmable knobs and sliders, 10 buttons, fast categorized instrument selection, and dedicated arpeggiator and sequencer transport controls. In addition to MIDI I/O and USB/MIDI, the K2061 provides flexible connectivity that includes a stereo audio input, two CC pedal inputs, and two switch pedal jacks, each supporting single or dual switch pedals or a single half-damper pedal plus 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O and a USB/MIDI-to-device port.
Powerful features for masterful performance
With a whopping 2GB of factory sample content, an additional 2GB of user storage, and up to 16 zones in Multi Mode, the K2061 shines as both a performance controller and synth workstation. The K2061 comes loaded with over 2,000 factory programs, a versatile effects engine with full editing capabilities, a 16-track Sequencer with 960 PPQ resolution, 16 arpeggiators, 16 riff players, flexible MIDI control with 16 MIDI CC step sequencers, and extensive native V.A.S.T. editing capabilities. But the star of the show may well be the powerful 6-operator FM synthesis engine that natively imports original FM SysEx files from the ’80s and ’90s!
Load sounds instantly with FlashPlay technology

That equates to a staggering amount of horsepower you’ll appreciate whether you’re wowing an audience onstage or impressing collaborators in the studio.
