WNAMM12: Kurzweil Tell Their Story

Kurzweil Music Systems premiers new film 'It all started with Ray' The Kurzweil Music Story 23-Jan-12

Kurzweil Music Systems debuted the new promotional Ray Kurzweil film, It all started with Ray at this years NAMM show.

The new film tells the story of Stevie Wonder's challenge to Inventor and current Chief Strategy Officer, Ray Kurzweil, to accurately recreate the sound of a Grand Piano using the same technology used to created Stevie Wonder's new Print to Speech reader system for the blind.

Upon the inception of Kurzweil Music Systems, Ray and Stevie team up with Bob Moog and Howard (Hal) Chamberlin, scientist and author of the technologically ground breaking book Musical Applications of Microprocessors.

It all started with Ray has now been published on Kurzweil's new YouTube channel, KuzweilUSA.

Siri is actually "powered" by Nuance. Nuance provides the technology behind the speech synthesis feature.


davidgaron4 29-Mar-12 07:57 PM

Siri on the iPhone is NOT from Nuance.

Hey, the options on Kurzweil synths are endless, you can use all your lifetime creating patches on it, and it wont be enought, wy you want a lot of memory and a lot of vst's , if you have a Kurzweil synth with V.A.S.T synthesys, I was using Vst' s since they came out, but nothing sounds like a real hardware synth, Kurzweil is one of the greatest inventors of our time, but... kurzweil synth uses a smart synthesis technik for smart people who can recognice it.


777chilly777 30-Jan-12 04:31 AM

That is a good idea so it will be possible to load ur own 3rd party Vsts and Daws right in to the keyboard, it is the future of the hardware keybords othervise if they won't implement this the feature the hardware keybords are doomed because they won't be able to competite with VST and Daw worlds..


alphasxsignal 25-Jan-12 06:50 AM

Please bring out another top of the line system this year 2012.


alphasxsignal 25-Jan-12 06:48 AM

Yes we want something big and we will buy.Computer interface large memory and more. We will buy if you will bring it out.


cvl85 25-Jan-12 06:23 AM

Thanks for the comments! Stay tuned for upcoming videos and new product announcements here at KurzweilUSA.


777chilly777 23-Jan-12 12:54 AM

anyway, i wish goodluck to Kurzweil and i puted "Like" to that video, even though that there are some moments in the video which really mess my eyes...


777chilly777 23-Jan-12 12:52 AM

bettwen 9:16 and 9:19 is that a ghost above Dave Weiser head?!! 0_0


777chilly777 23-Jan-12 12:52 AM

anywey there are many questionable moments in the video but i will mention only 3 of them 1)it seems that sound of video was edited bettwen 4:30 and 4.33, because it seems that the guy seid something more about his book but it was cut from the video :( 2) 7:01 why the guy is so scared? (is sombody was stending behind the camera who he afrraid of) like if sombode told him " if u will tell again about Omnisphere sounds better then pc3k in terms of synth sounds u will be faired)


777chilly777 23-Jan-12 12:42 AM

i don't know if it is just me, but i got impression that this video sounds like an apoligise( why the top of the line synth in 2012 year which is Kurzweil pc3k still utilises so old thechnologies(even thought that in their time they were really unique and state of the art) and has 64mb rom in it and why Kurzweil still did not come with the replacment (K3000))

p.s. anyway i don't want to bush kurzweil in anyway, i just wis them good luck but i just express my opinion which is based of fakts


MaestroOnAir 21-Jan-12 01:01 PM

Ray is really amazing guy, it would be amazing to chat with him someday
