K2000 display & FD drive

    I think my K2000 display will need to be replaced soon. It continues 
to get dimmer - sometimes to the point where it can not be seen at all. 
 I have done soft resets and adjusted the contrast but it continues to 
fade to the point where the display is blank. Can anyone suggest a 
source for a display replacement?
    I also need to replace the floppy disk drive - any suggestions would 
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary A

Great!  That would have to be one of the two days that I'm on business 
travel this week (:-(  Robb's is a great store including their on-line 
sales. They also have a premier service department with extraordinary 
techs who among other things love and understand Kurzweil instruments.

Re: Aftertouch on the K2600

Hello,
  I sent a message to Kurzweil Tech Support asking for instructions 
on how to adjust the hardware aftertouch. The following reply may be 
of use to others in the group.

A response from one of our service techs:

 There is a sticker underneath the K2600 where the pitch/mod wheel 
assembly is attached. This sticker shows which hole is for a 
particular adjustment. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to turn the 
appropriate pot.
 To properly adjust it you want to get into the scanner diagnostics 
by having the unit up and running in program mode, then 
press "4","5",and"6" together (on the 10-key pad) then release. If it 
was done properly you should see the LED's light up in sequence and 
the display will read "scanner diagnostics". In this mode, the 
display will show what is being manipulated.
 So if you press a key it will display what key is pressed. If the 
key is pressed hard then it will show how much pressure is being 
exhibited on that key. The pressure range is 0 to 255. The higher the 
number, the more pressure on the key(s). The numbers should climb 
smoothly and linearly.

soft-seq

Greetings, Kurzweilers. 

I have been searching for something I thought was fairly simple and 
basic, but have had absolutely no luck.  What I want is a fairly 
simple software sequencer that will interface with my K2k.  I can do 
my recording or editing through Cool Edit, and prefer it honestly, I 
just want an easy to use sequencer that will do step recording and 
all that, and that I can access the K - program banks from, so I 
don't have to use the onboard sequencer.  The onboard is fine for 
what it is, but I'd like an easier method for entry, as well as 
something I can do on a laptop while sitting on my couch (and if 
you've ever tried to hold a Kurz on your lap, you know that the 
computer is a more physically friendly option.  

In looking through the various software solutions I can't find 
anything that doesn't include a whole bunch of goo I don't want (like 
recording features, super advanced editing, blah blah puke.  Even the 
lower versions of these (Cubase, Cakewalk, Logic) seems to just be 
the same capabilities with less tracks, or lower resolution, etc.  I 
think what I really want is something like Cubase or Cakewalk was 4 
years ago, but I can't seem to find it.  I'm sure I could manage to 
get one of these above to do what I want, but it would involve a lot 
of time on learning curve that could be spent on writing, and seems a 
waste since I don't need that power.  

The only thing I've found so far that's close is MOTU's Freestyle (I 
think that's the name).  It seems a little more simple than I want, 
but like it would work pretty good.  And in looking into it and 
Performer I can't help but start to think that Mac is really the way 
to go.  Being a former Amiga nerd, and recovering Linux user, Mac has

knobby

Hi,

while still searching for a visible/touchable interface to the kurz I ran 
across the encore knobby. Can someone share his experience with me on this?

I can't believe the sound!

Dear Fellow K Users:

I have to tell you about my newest samples! Most of you probably already
have them but I just purchased three new CDs from Sweetwater.  Ultimate
Guitar, Classics CD and the Drum CD. I normally don't have the money for
those expensive samples.. but they are on sell for $99 each. And I had to
have them. I would have paid the normal $399 if I knew just how good they
sound. They are incredible.. If you are looking for great sounds.. I just
don't see a better value for K users then the Sweetwater CDs...  I also got
the Bomb CD.  Anyway I hate to plug stuff.. but these are a must have!!

Thanks for all the help here,
Mike

I have the Hans Zimmer Guitar Vol 1 CD-ROM.  I like the acoustic 
Martin and the PRS lead samples.  Anyone know how the Sweetwater 
Ultimate Guitars compares?
