Pin punched Specimen, VF-XF condition, S-C USBNC. Kurzweil’s next

business venture was in the realm of electronic music technology. After

a 1982 meeting with Stevie Wonder, in which the latter lamented the

divide in capabilities and qualities between electronic synthesizers and

traditional musical instruments, Kurzweil was inspired to create a new

generation of music synthesizers capable of accurately duplicating

the sounds of real instruments. Kurzweil Music Systems was founded

in the same year, and in 1984, the Kurzweil K250 was unveiled. The

machine was capable of imitating a number of instruments, and in tests

musicians were unable to discern the difference between the Kurzweil

K250 on piano mode from a normal grand piano.[21] The recording

and mixing abilities of the machine, coupled with its abilities to imitate

different instruments, made it possible for a single user to compose and

play an entire orchestral piece. Kurzweil Music Systems was sold to

South Korean musical instrument manufacturer Young Chang in 1990.

As with Xerox, Kurzweil remained as a consultant for several years.

Hyundai acquired Young Chang in 2006 and in January 2007 appointed

Raymond Kurzweil as Chief Strategy Officer of Kurzweil Music

Systems. Concurrent with Kurzweil Music Systems, Kurzweil created

the company Kurzweil Applied Intelligence (KAI) to develop computer

speech recognition systems for commercial use. The first product, which

debuted in 1987, was an early speech recognition program.����������Est.
