VEKTOR MOTION

Pads that keep moving, and stay musical.

64 vector pads for your Kurzweil. Every chord travels across the stereo field while it changes colour, its filters opening one after another as the point reaches them. Warm analog waves, voices, digital waves and glass, played by the keyboard's own engine with no computer attached.

Hold one chord, and it keeps going somewhere.

VEKTOR MOTION is 64 pads made with VEKTOR, our vector synthesis editor for the K2700, and movement is the whole idea. Four different sounds sit at the corners of a square, and a point inside the square decides how much of each you hear. Here the point never rests for long: a typical turn takes about five seconds, and the four corners are placed wide apart, so the chord travels across the stereo field while it changes colour.

Movement of the point is only the start. Each corner has its own filter envelope that opens as the point arrives, the way a wave breaks along a beach. Attacks are staggered, so a chord arrives in stages. Two corners can hold the same wave, one dark and one bright, so a swing from side to side is also a filter sweep.

And it stays musical: only unisons and octaves between the corners, moderate resonance, and speeds you can breathe with. The waves are the keyboard's own: analog saws and pulses, synth and tape strings, voices, vector waves and glass. There are no samples to load, and no computer is needed once the programs are on the instrument.
