Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (avid 'tron enthusiast who may no longer have a
machine, though) has set up a Kurzweil to be the mother of all 'tron sample
players. I guess he used all his own samples to create this and went for
the utmost in authenticity.
Ken M - What's the nickname he has for it? Megatron or something.
Easier to transport than a Mark II for sure---and much more versatile.

- Ken M's Mark II made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when we
first played his machine through the Wharfedales (3 violins, of course)
- My Hammond A-102 surrounds your legs with some wonderful analog goo as
you play it (don't visualize)
I wouldn't truck them around to a gig, though...If I were gigging, it'd be
the Korg X3 and the Roland M-VS1. :-)
