Tony Hadad
I just bought this keyboard and couldn't be happier. The sound quality is the best i've ever heard. glad i traded in my Vega for this one. It is cheaper but so much better - thanks for making this type of instrument available.
DJ KD
The best arabic keyboard i ever had. better than yamaha, vega and all of them excellent!
Nasser A
I'm really happy with this keyboard. I never had a GEM keyboard before. Bought a ketron vega and it constantly broke down. This has great sounds/rhythms, especially the strings - really authentic. Much better. I definitely recommend it.

Excellent keyboard. Professional, sounds natural (well done signal processing) and very capable/versatile. Certainly a good deal.

R.B.
Definitely worth the wait. I got mine after waiting almost 5 weeks for it. Can't beat the price and the quality is that of a $2000+ keyboard. The representative at Maqam was very knowledgeable and helpful. I had played on a WK2 and this is a huge improvement with very advanced features and controls. Makes you feel like a real PRO.

The WK2000 MidEast is a 16 part multi-timbral instrument with 32 notes polyphony. The internal sound library offers 480 PCM sounds, including 33 Middle Eastern sounds, 16 drumkits, and 3 Middle Eastern drumkits, resulting in rich and complex sound textures.

A range of carefully developed functions, including Arabic scales, is available in a special section, providing the ability to easily select and play the typical scales of Middle  Eastern/Mediterranean music and provides unlimited freedom of expression.

Ten (10) different performances are assigned to each of the internal styles, allowing you to completely reconfigure the setting of the styles. A number of dedicated buttons for the direct selection of 16 sounds and 16 styles are available. These direct access memory locations provide quick access during play, particularly useful during live performances. Favorite configurations of sounds, effects, controls, MIDI channels, track status, styles, etc. can be stored in any of 63 general performances to be recalled instantly.
The WK2000 MidEast is equipped with a sequencer (SMF compatible) allowing you to record up to 7 Song Styles instantly, using any of the on- board sounds and styles. The built-in disk drive saves performances on floppy disks to create an unlimited library.
The optional vocal processor interface allows the voice to be processed through a connected microphone with the internal digital effects, 3 band EQ and a compressor. Up to 4 harmony lines can be added to your voice for extraordinary vocal real time harmonies. The digital sampling function allows you to create your own personalized sound palette by sampling any sound with the microphone or line input. |
