i doubt if any k2000 owner would actually voice those opinions. the whole
thing from sonic quality to ui design is a model of amazingness.

yeah but still won't have a k2000... :)

i have one, have had it for years, used it extensively when i couldn't
afford anything better, mine is actually still plugged in while some of my
other analogue gear sits in the corner... it has its place but let's please
look at it realistically, in the context of living in 1996 and all that...
it has very poor sound quality with a pretty blatant noise floor, the low
end is really sloppy, and it just plain Doesn't Do Much. it has one mono
output for all 4 voices. i honestly feel that if someone with a small
amount of money is starting out, they can spend their $100 much more
productively.

it's easy to edit because it doesn't do much. anyway, how much does a Cz-1
cost in comparison to a 101? the 101 is far more prevalent and it lacks in
some essential features. one thing i forgot to mention is that since it
doesn't respond to midi volume or velocity, it's really hard to balance out
the multitimbral mix...
(not impossible, i used to spend hours sitting their fiddling with the amp
envelopes to get the right volume, but what a waste of time.)
i promise to take any future rounds of this to email...
