Hi folks,
Glad to have joined the group here. We got a used K1000 keyboard almost five years ago; when we bought it, the previous owner said that it had been fully upgraded (paraphrasing), but of course at the time we didn't understand the specifics. The list of sounds matches the "Pro 1" sound list here:??the "Show Version" menu option says "Engine: v5.32" and "Setups: v5.10".
So far we have just been naive preset users, not really even knowing how to move around properly in the menus. The unit was in storage for maybe a year or so but a couple of weeks ago I got it back out for my daughter to use. I recently printed the manuals and started to read them a bit, having been interested to get to know it better when I find some time. Then suddenly this week...
All was fine until a couple of days ago; my daughter complained about it playing two notes at the same time and that appears to be the case. I did some testing against another keyboard and to me it sounds like the Kurzweil is playing what I'd call "imperfect fifths" when you hold down a single note.
I looked at the "Transpose" parameter for each layer from a few different randomly-selected sounds but didn't find anything other than zeros, save for one patch that was transposed an octave (it was set to "12").
I'm wondering if it's malfunctioning, such that the "hard reset" is the only option here, but I'm loathe to do it because I am not sure if there are any custom programs from the previous owner in there somewhere - I went through the full range of sounds (000-493; with 401-493 saying "(not found)") and the lists (000-099, 101-163, 201-299 and 301-363) matching the "Pro 1 sounds" lists). I'm confused by the FAQ () saying that in the Rev 5 products, the RAM programs were in "location 255 down" - I don't know if this means 000-255 or 201-255 in the "Pro 1 Sounds" list - I was under the impression that these lists were all ROM sounds from the myriad ROM chips that get installed.
Hopefully I did my homework well and the description above is helpful - thanks in advance for any recommendations!
Chuck
