Kurzweil K2000 SMP-K Sampling Option Kit
Turn your K2000 into a mean, lean sampling machine!
The SMP-k/r Sampling Option comes in a package containing software and hardware. With the Sampling Option, you can record samples into the K2000 from analog sources (stereo or mono), i.e. other keyboards, guitars, etc. The keyboard offers unbalanced stereo 1/4" analog inputs.
You can record samples into the K2000 from digital sources i.e. DAT recorders, CD players, digital mixers, etc. There is an XLR input for S/PDIF and AES/EBU and an optical input as well. You can also send samples out as digital information for mastering to DAT recorders or further processing through a digital mixer.
You can perform a wide variety of editing tasks with a very highly developed and precise visual graphic waveform display. Just a few of the editing functions include: fade in/out, cut/copy/paste, clear samples, delete samples, insert silence, time compression/expansion, pitch shifting, sample rate conversion, and many more.
In the box is a card with In/Out connectors, 6 large chips, 2 wiring harnesses, 5 floppies and all the factory paperwork including installation instructions. Kurzweil always suggests that your service center install their kits.
Who's Calvin?
The Janis chip replaces the Calvin chip. This is the "sample fetch" chip used
by the K2000. Kurzweil made the change as part of a manufacturing update. In
terms of the results for the end user, there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in
features or capability. However, because of differences between the two
chips, the Janis chip requires a slightly modified circuit board and engine
firmware. You can tell what kind of board you have by whether or not there is
a J after the version number displayed on power-up. If you are updating your
unit to a new version of the operating system, you will need to know which
version you have so that the proper engine firmware will be sent. There is no
damage caused by installing one version of firmware in the opposite machine;
it will simply not work.
For sale here is a very rare, Brand New, NOS Factory Sampling Option for the K2000 Kurzweil Synthesizer still in the box. This is the only one we have and can get so don't hesitate to own this upgrade kit. The manual says that the fan kit FK-1 ($70) is required with this mod. We have one and will include it with the deal. Good luck bidding!
