All is said and repeated.
For the era it is very correct.
I noticed a good connection for the time.
At the time this is a synth that came out on fiber optics! it was pretty awesome (with SMP-K)
UTILIZATION
It is in the right, the edition is relatively simple, the manual comes with a little afraid this is a big book Frenchified evil! 100% as good synths of the era ergonomics is not there. Except that the K2000 is pretty structured, close enough to E-Mu actually.
Remains even when it lacks a dial in +, and 3 or 4 assignable controls in + were not a luxury (the 2500 has).
Make its request from 10 to 20 minutes ... this is very acceptable!
SOUNDS
Well ...
What about the sound is now not mistyped the time, some presets are absolement inaudible. The Option ROM, not better ...
Lacks punch, has a face for me SY77/99 the K2000 has not sufficiently dynamic.
The grain of the rest when even a little heated, I think it's a bitch that he is not completely fallen into oblivion ...
OVERALL OPINION
I still have a K2000, I do not use anymore, I repaired, and I must admit being surprised by the claque that it is taken this machine, the only way out of his guts c ' is to program your own sounds
The touch keyboard is not bad, it's still a keyboard synth, no worse, no good, it's still actually a little better than usual.
Note also a system option, Sampling option, Option ROM card, Ram Option, Option PRAM ... yes ok very good! but hey what are you do not say is that the party option is not for everyone, need a good soldering iron, especially for the map and the sampling Kurzweil PRAM. This is simply unacceptable to weld on component leads and tinker 3, or 4 tricks to make it work ... berk (ditto for the extension PRAM).
The fate of a SCSI connector same as that of the parallel type, a lot have burnt their interface with JAZZ that used the parallel port!
Caution is a K2000 synth or there must be three 1.5 volt batteries to preserve the PRAM ... and it does not want 2 months!! as to its 1.2 volt battery has proved to be inadequate! ...
Same synth very hot and needs a ventilator, which has the distinction of having an internal filter in the floppy drive, super annoying to clean when he took the dust.
Possibility of an internal hard drive, or too vague DIY nothing is really planned on the hull (to pierce by yourself)
Be careful, this is a synth geek ...
food heater is integrated into the Analog Card, bullshit not to be apart! as all manufacturers are serious!
Upgrade the OS on Chip (ok for the time), except that the price is completely démesurer.
On some versions, the J-FET output slams none stop, disease K2000, a card called "coasting" was added for preventing the slamming of J-Fet. If you buy one, check the sound if you push the gain to the console, without the j-fet are slammed.
K2000 is a FET technology, fragile static and not always the best choice. manufacturing remains correct on versions 2 and 3
