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.
