VINTAGE DCO RAW PACK

The raw sound of the 80s, alive on your K2700.

121 programs of the classic DCO polysynth: brass that punches, strings that shimmer, basses that bounce and the chorus that defined a decade. Rebuilt fader for fader on the K2700's VAST engine, and recorded on the instrument.

Some sounds never go out of style. Now they live on your K2700.

RAW PACK is the factory bank of the best-loved DCO polysynth of the 80s, rebuilt on the K2700 one setting at a time: pulse and saw, sub-oscillator and noise, the resonant filter, the envelope and that famous chorus. Not samples of an old machine: real oscillators and filters, playing live on VAST.

Raw means as they were made: the brass, strings, organs, basses, leads, bells and effects of the original bank, levelled on the K2700 so they sit together, with what the original never had: a hall reverb and a tempo delay.

And they answer the K2700's panel: filter, resonance, envelope and LFO on the sliders, PWM, sub, noise, high-pass and chorus on the knobs, vibrato on the wheel. A modern instrument with a vintage soul: the K2700 plays both.

Inside

Twelve families. 121 sounds.

From brass and strings to bells, drums and wild effects: a whole bank, each program with its own name on the K2700.
