K2500 76 NOTE KEYBOARD OR K2500X 88 NOTE KEYBOARD

Choose between the K2500 with 76 semi-weighted piano-style keys and the deluxe K2500X, with 88 fully weighted piano-style keys. 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-2K Sampling Option, KDFX Digital Effects Option or DMTi Digital MultiTrack Interface) for a full range of additional digital I/Os and data conversion facilities. 76- or 88-note weighted action keyboard True 48-voice polyphony (up to 192 oscillators) Highly readable 60 x 240 backlit LCD display Up to 128 MB sample memory Flash ROM (for software updates via floppy disk and SCSI) Full MIDI controller capabilities V.A.S.T. variable architecture synthesis with 60 DSP functions Extensive sample processing capabilities 32-track sequencer Advanced File Management System (AFMS) Dual SCSI ports Up to 28 MB on-board ROM sounds Sampling Option with analog and digital I/O and sample-while-play.
