The [https://www.vintagesynth.com/kurzweil/k2500.php Kurzweil K2500] is a synthesizer manufactured by Kurzweil Music Systems in 1996. The Kurzweil K2500R is the rackmount variant of the Kurzweil K2500, and the specific model that was owned and used by Hajime Wakai in his work. Typically, rackmount versions of synthesizers are functionally identical, but they lack the physical keyboard. This makes them more compact and easy to cram into a studio space; however, it is intended that they be connected to an external MIDI device, such as a musical keyboard, a computer, or some other MIDI-compatible instrument in order to use them.
