You can get MidiQuest for Mac, it will cover the K2000 and M1R, but not the K1000. Many years ago I tried to talk SoundQuest into covering the K1000, but not enough market for them to do it. This is why I wrote ObjectEditorX. However when Apple released Big Sur they changed Core Midi, so now It is only good for older MacOS variants.

?On the Windows side, Midi Quest might do the trick for everything, but I haven't explored it in a while because it's not blind accessible. But I'd be curious if anyone has dealt with it or is willing to play with it. Steinberg left the room on this because they discontinued Sound Diver.

Just been out of the loop too long and can¡¯t answer my own question.
I¡¯m building a Kurzweil Rack with some of my modules.
This particular rack, a slant face, will be Two K2000RS and Three K1000 (pro2 x2 and one pro3). Probably a Korg M1r. Plus room for a couple of other things.
I want it to be self-contained and self supporting, as it were, so I¡¯m reserving 2U for a computer and another 2U for an interface.
A single midi controller will rule them all :-)
Here¡¯s my dilemma.
What software? What hardware?
What I have right now is 20+ year old Opcode Galaxy software. Very capable, I suppose, but it runs on an aging G4 Mac. It has full editing for both K1000 and K2000 with vintage graphics. I¡¯d rework a G4 to be2U rackmount. The interface would be an Opcode Studio 5lx. 16x16 midi i/o. Again, very capable despite its age.
It would handle many patches and be able to transfer them through the convoluted KW system to get them working.
BUT, is there a PC based solution? Or a Linux based solution? Geez, even a Raspberry Pi or Android solution??
It has to work without moving cables, too. Enough I/O for every port to have its own.
Of course, our own Dennis Spanogle has Kurlewin ¨C a Windows based solution for the k1000. But what about K2000?
Come to find out, I don¡¯t even have a PC based midi interface.
Need some opinions. No answer is wrong.
Stay the course with vintage gear all around?
Go get the newest whiz-bang?
Or is there a secret and special combination I¡¯ve not seen? (very likely, this one)
What?
