I've programmed my k2000 for 19-tones et. it is however a tedious process to retune the kurzweil. but if you put in the effort it's really worth it. the kurzweil is a beautifulsynthesizer with some very realistic samples. additionally in terms of tuning because every note is completely programmable you can say for instance start on c1 program 19 pitches skip a few keys and repeat the process starting on c3 and then again on c5 etc. this helps alot when improvising. you tend to run out of keys a bit more quickly but on the new k2500 88key models that problem is minimized. goodluck, denis atadan Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 20:01 +0200 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA24093; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 19:02:56 +0100 Received: from eartha.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA24087 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id LAA06325; Sun, 6 Oct 1996 11:02:51 -0700 Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 11:02:51 -0700 Message-Id: <961006180035_71670.2576_HHB32-2@CompuServe.COM> Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
