  • Description: In its day, these workstations were thousands of dollars and the top of the line choice for professional musicians. Still more than functional and comparable to more modern units, the K2500 keyboards have what you need for your most challenging projects: true 48-note polyphony; software upgrades from floppy or SCSI; 60 DSP functions; up to 28 MB of internal ROM sounds, 128 MB of sample RAM and 1.25 MB of battery-backed sequence/program memory; an array of controllers, including assignable pressure strips; dual SCSI ports; analog and digital I/O (with options); and an 88-note weighted keyboard. The K2500 and the K2500X are also full-fledged MIDI controllers with a wealth of assignable control sources. An expressive pressure strip, centered above the keyboard, can be programmed in three zones or one long zone to provide a "touch and hold" facility. A short pressure strip and two buttons near the pitch and mod wheels add dramatically to the instruments' expressiveness. The front panel also incorporates eight independently assignable sliders, eleven assignable buttons with tri-colored LEDs, and three sequencer buttons. The rear panels of the K2500 and K2500X provide additional controller inputs and interfacing options. The controller inputs include four footswitch, one breath-controller and two continuous control pedal jacks. Connectivity is easy with two 25-pin SCSI connectors and MIDI In, Out and Thru (MIDI Thru switchable to a copy of MIDI Out). Rear panel outputs include a pair of mixed audio outs, eight individual audio outs (which double as inserts) and one headphone output. Add K2500 Options (SMP-2X Sampling Option, KDFX Digital Effects Option or DMTi Digital Multi Track Interface) for a full range of additional digital I/Os and data conversion facilities.
