..."morganfisherart" did an excellent job demonstrating the KC2, but there weren't any good ones for the KC1 unless you count the 1974 RMI demo record. I recorded my KC1 direct using no effects or EQ. Hopefully this video should clear up some misinformation around the internet. This instrument is not a sample player or a synthesizer, it was never available to the public with illuminated buttons, and channel 3 is not even in the same ballpark as a "white noise effect". I previously had a link here to the Allen Store where you could still buy literally hundreds of different IBM paper punch cards with voices encoded on them, but it appears that as of 2022 Allen Organs has discontinued them.

I have to do a shout-out to a couple of scholarly gentlemen who wrote a book in 2019 that I highly recommend called "Classic Keys, Keyboard Sounds That Launched Rock Music". A few years ago I had my Keyboard Computer professionally photographed and a couple of those pictures were used in this book. Anyway it's is filled with a lot of very in-depth research and even recently won an award.
