    This floppy disk for the Kurzweil K2000/K2VX/K2500 was programmed by our newest Soundware engineer, Gary Phillips. The point of these programs was to use V.A.S.T. to explore new sonic textures outside the standard acoustic emulation of real instruments. These are not your father's programs: no pretty guitars or harps-with-strings. Instead you'll discover synthetic programs with a decidedly digital edge, soft pads, rhythmic pulses, and artificial aural soundscapes that will create unique musical ideas all by themselves. Definitely ready to leave music and explore sonic insanity. These stunning programs make creative use of real time controllers to add your own personal touch to the sonic textures.
