The company history of Kurzweil Music Systems begins in 1976 with a meeting between Stevie Wonder and Raymond "Ray" Kurzweil. After his studies, Ray had invented the world's first reading machine that enabled blind people to have printed text read aloud by a machine, and Stevie Wonder was the first customer for that device.
Over time the two became good friends and had many conversations, including about applications in the music industry made possible by the technology.
This challenge sparked Raymond's interest, and in 1983 he founded Kurzweil Music Systems. In the same year a first prototype was presented at NAMM, which a year later culminated in the first K250 units being produced and shipped. Initially there was much scepticism whether an electronic device could truly replicate the sound of an acoustic piano, but after several A/B comparisons with real pianists the answer was clear: "Yes!" What made the K250 so special? The synthesizer featured an 88-key weighted keyboard, 12-voice polyphony and 2 MB ROM storing the internal samples. For the time, these specs were exceptional.
Kurzweil, however, did not rest on its success but continuously advanced the technology over the years. This, of course, attracted attention among musicians, making Kurzweil controllers and synthesizers welcomed guests on stages and in studios around the world.
In 1990 the company was acquired by the Korean piano maker Young Chang, who continues to produce the instruments in the USA to the same high standards.
True bestsellers and crowd-pullers from Kurzweil include the flagship K2700 and the brand-new SP7 Grand. With their 88 weighted hammer-action keys, authentic tones and pro features they excite both studio and live keyboardists alike.
