[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="Fullofkittens"]I've been messing with my K2000 for years, I wonder what kinds of goodies the K2500 has that the K2000 doesn't.[/quote] Just picked it up on Saturday. Fuck the Motif. <a href="http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/support.html?Id=56">Here are the differences</a>, the main one being that I can stick the KDFX expansion in there. I'd have preferred a K2600 due to the <font color="orange">TRIPLE MODE!!!!</font> algorithms and layer-chaining opening up a lot more possibilities, but I didn't want to spend that much. -/ES/-[/quote] Most of those goodies seem to have something to do with the sampling capability. CC control of start point is really nice: it makes it an ersatz Wavestation. Here's a protip from a hardware sampler user: Make the samples in a wave editor (e.g. CoolEdit/Audition, Wavelab) and then load them into the sampler. Playing samples with a hardware sampler's fx: super fun! Trimming and naming a lot of audio files on a tiny lcd screen: hell on earth. <a href="http://www.scsiforsamplers.com/prodlist.asp?kurzweil">SCSIforSamplers.com</a> has external media card drives for the Kxxxxs. Let me know if you need any help with programming the thing. It can be stupid hard to program. Another tip: when you're in the menus with the focus on a source dropdown (where you can choose from CC1(mod wheel)-CC190(something obscure like ClockDown)), hold down the ENTER button and move the control you want to assign rather than scrolling, it's much faster.[/quote]
