poltr1Years ago, I had the idea of stacking a few Kurzweil K2000 keyboards, adding an AGO pedalboard, MIDIfying the pedalboard, and adding some Kurzweil rackmounted equipment and a computer. It would be called "The Mighty Kurzweil", paying homage to the "Mighty Wurlitzer" theatre organs of old.
Of course, what stopped me from realizing the dream was available time, money, and the space to put it.
Well, it's been realized. By one of the most influential people in electronic music -- Wendy Carlos, and a team of talented engineers from several different companies. Check out her WurliTzer II unit orchestra, also called "Wurly II". Here's a picture.
