Introduction Overview of the K2661 Chapter 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Kurzweil/Young Chang K2661 instrument. The K2661 is packed with great acoustic, electric, and synth sounds—combined with some of the most advanced synthesis features available, which you can use to create almost any sound imaginable. The K2661 incorporates most of the features of the K2600, and provides several new features as well. This manual, along with the Musician’s Guide and Musician’s

Introduction VAST Synthesis For sample memory, your K2661 has one SIMM (single, in-line memory module) installed in a socket that you can reach through the access panel on the bottom of the instrument. If your K2661 does not already have the maximum of 128 megabytes of Sample RAM installed, you can install a larger SIMM using the instructions in the Musician’s Reference. The most important thing for you to know about Sample RAM, however, is that it is not battery-backed

Introduction How the K2661 Works How the K2661 Works The K2661 integrates three MIDI-driven components: a MIDI controller (the keyboard, or an external MIDI controller, a sound engine, and a global effects processor (KDFX). The sound engine responds to the MIDI events generated by the MIDI controller, and turns them into sounds that are processed within the variable architecture of the algorithms—or by oscillators for KB3 programs. The resulting sound can th

Introduction Do I Have Everything? When you install a new version of the operating system, you’ll need to load all the object files for the options you have. This includes the object files for the SD Piano and Vintage Electric Piano ROM blocks, if you have them. Load the system files first, then all of the object files, then exit the Boot Loader by pressing the Run System soft button. See Appendix A if you need help with operating the Boot Loader. K2661

Startup Startup—the Details Startup—the Details This section walks you through the hookup of your K2661. We’ll take a look at the rear panel, then describe the power, audio, and other cable connections. Before You Start... Don’t connect anything until you make sure your K2661 is properly and safely situated. Also, if your K2661 has been out in the cold, give it time to warm up to room temperature before starting it, since condensation may have formed inside the K2661. Never block the ventilat

Startup Startup—the Details Connecting SCSI You may not have a hard disk or other SCSI device to connect to your K2661 right away, but if you do, you can connect it to the SCSI port. Please read the following information carefully; it’s very important. Also, there’s a collection of SCSI tips in Chapter 6 of the Musician’s Reference. Note: SCSI on the K2661 is always terminated. Turn to Chapter 13 and read the section called SCSI Termination if you require more information. You can lose data i

Startup Playing the Presets Playing the Presets There are three things you’ll want to check out right away: programs, setups and Quick Access banks. In performance situations, you’ll be selecting your sounds using one of these three methods. There’s a mode (and a mode button) corresponding to each method. Getting Around In all three of these modes, the bottom line of the display identifies the function of each of the buttons beneath the display. We call these buttons soft buttons, because they

Startup Playing the Presets VAST programs with more than three layers are known as drum programs, as shown in the following diagram. Drum programs can use any sound you like, but the most common use for programs with more than three layers is to create a number of different sounds across the keyboard—which is perfect for combinations of percussion sounds (hence the name). For drum programs, the info box simply indicates the number of layers in the program—in this case, 26. ProgramMode||||Xpo

Startup Playing the Presets In the following diagram, Channel 2 is the current channel, but Channel 1 is the KB3 channel. The info box tactfully lets you know what the KB3 channel is, and parentheses appear around the names of all KB3 programs, to further remind you that KB3 programs aren’t available on the current channel. To get Program 753 to work in this case, you’d have to change the current channel back to Channel 1, or go to Master mode and change the KB3 channel to Channel 2. Program
