You should register on the Mastering VAST forum, free for some areas, there are literally thousands of user generated patches for different models in the subscriber area ($6 AUS per year).

Note my listing of boards, most all Kurzweil except the Hammond SK1 for Hammond (and I use an iPad as a sound generator also).
The KB3 engine is fine for Hammond in an ensemble, not quite as good for solo work. Synth - can do most anything, but going beyond factory patches and those available requires some experience with the VAST engine, which programs quite a bit differently than most of the competition. Note that Kurzweil's stock patches are typically great in Orchestral simulation, perhaps not as much for "pop" synth type sounds. Strings, Horns - The PC3 is no slouch in this area, the Forte has more power to handle effects. Plus, Dave Weiser has released some excellent gigging patches that can be loaded, and there are several commercial developers that make patches. It also has Kurzweil's KB3 Hammond/Leslie engine. When released, OS 4 will add a dedicated FM engine (VAST can do some FM as is, but this is a separate engine.

Most of the other sounds are from the PC3 series (which I have) along with an added ROM from the PC3 series. Pianos are greatly expanded in quality, since it has much more room for the samples. Originally, it really was a stage piano, but it has had a LOT of additional features added with OS updates. I don't personally have a Forte, but those who do on the Mastering VAST forum seem very pleased, especially with the announcement that OS version 4 will be out later this year. There’s also a dedicated global EQ / compressor at the end of the chain with controls on the front panel. The effects engine has had some useful additions over the years, like string resonance and improved rotary speaker emulation, but the primary improvement is the number of simultaneous effects allowed which has more than quadrupled over time. VAST itself has undergone changes that aren’t always immediately obvious, like the ability to route signals among up to 32 layers. and of course a lot of people make wonderful music with either the factory programs or or ones created by other owners.

VAST synthesis is notoriously deep, which scares a lot of people away, but the ROM sample set is full of well-recorded and musical raw material that careful programming can really bring to life. I’ve always found the Kurzweil VAST gear to have a timeless quality that most digital gear lacks. How would you characterise the Kurzweil sound? Īltough i don’t know how much they updated these and the dsp effects over time? The VAST engine its VA part as well as the VBK3 seem ancient. Just wondering, about the sound quallity of the Kurzweil.Īnd while the sample memory promisses a lot. My interest in the Forte recently peaked.
