One other area where Absynth and the K2000 are similar is that I don't like either one very much. However Absynth is not very easy to use, but the K2000 is not either. extensive modulation options (no FUN generators on Absynth, though).fairly cold, digital-sounding filters (IMO).Having owned a K2000 for a long time, I think Absynth is the plugin I've used that has the most in common with it: Another would be SampleLogic - Arpology, which I just recently got for 75% off (making it $99) from Lastly, the most insane non-Kontakt synth I've found recently is BT-Phobos which uses a completely new type of synthesis called poly-convolution - basically using the convolutions of certain samples to sort of control and evolve other samples to create bizarre, otherworldly rhythms and textures. One of my favorites Kontakt based synths is Spitfire Audio - eDNA Earth which uses orchestral samples recorded to tape to make synthesizer sounds. The scripting that's available has just gotten so advanced that I'm constant blown away at what developers are offering for it. A lot of people would classify it more within the sampler realm, but if you look into a lot of the programs available for it, they would definitely be considered synthesizers. Personally, if "possibilities" is what you're looking for, Kontakt is my favorite synth/plugin by far and an absolute must-have for any keyboard/synth enthusiast. I believe something like Alchemy would be within the realm of what you're looking for although I don't really use it much myself. My advice would be to look for synths that use samples as their foundation (versus a synth that starts with basic oscillators), and go from there. That said, what made the K-2000 really unique was that it was a synth that used quality samples as it's base and they were then ran through the different algorithms using what Kurzweil called "VAST" architecture and then effects. If you Google this you'll find it's been asked on KVR and Gearslutz but the overwhelming consensus seems to be, there's nothing really exactly like it.
