I can't remember about the fan. Yes, the Kurzweil can load anything you want when it starts. Check the manual on MACROS. Basically, you create the steps you want to sequence as if you were manually loading everything yourself, and that Macro will perform those steps upon bootup. You have to...

Joe, Couple of questions, first. Did you get the Owner's Manuals when you bought it? Does the floppy drive still work fine? You may be right that the the latest OS for the K2500 is 2.8, but I thought it was higher. I know that in mine, the Boot Objects are 5.0 and 4.3 for some various...

New thread needed Joe, I'll post in a new thread regarding your questions.

Wha? Joe, When did you get a Kurzweil workstation? They're a bitch to disassemble and reassemble, aren't they? lol Goodness This thread was about FATAR keyboards, not Kurzweil workstations. :P

Well.... I found that when I lower the "Overdrive" knob in the Frequency section down from 46 to 11, that eliminated all the problem. BUT, now the tonal color of the sound does not sound dead-on as it had before. It needs that bite, that raspiness, that the overdrive had provided. Still...

Analog programming help needed. Here's what I have so far, without going into particulars on the actual patch (which sounds dead-on), I'm having problem with distortion when I play the octave in the Left hand, while also playing the right hand. But if I only play one of the two notes in the...

Interesting Cool, and pretty interesting story. It looks like powder residue there on the keyboard. heheh You seem to be one tenacious individual to go through all that. You must really love your Ensoniq. Thanks for posting the pic!

CME foot pedal combo Apparently, that CME pedal you like is not being carried by anybody any longer from all the American music sites I just investigated. Plus, though, at $109, it was overpriced. Take a look at these and see your other options: A dual MIDI pedal (sostenuto / sustain) -...

24 hours ago I wrote your answer yesterday, and Homerecording wanted me to enter my password again for some reason, and in so doing, it deleted everything I slaved over for you. Here, I'll try again, and be smarter about copying to clipboard before saving. - - - - - I am unfamiliar with your...

Good question Curious. I'm interested to know the answer to this one, too. I do know (or think I know), that the ohms is resistance and thus if you take the power coming out of your amp and run it into 4 ohms speakers, the loudness you perceive will be twice that compared to running into an 8...

'Quite welcome!

Grab your cam and post some digital pics of the innards of your keyboard. Pics always make things a little more clear. :) Or don't. :o

Good report Glad to hear it. Taking the keys out and working with them is pretty easy. Look at the photos on Page 1 of this thread. The worst part is taking the whole keyboard down to get to that stage. Ech! When reassembling my Kurzweil, I thought is was like trying to build the boat...

Full volume I remember that when the key on my keyboard was playing too loudly, that after I had cleaned the contacts, it still persisted. The problem that I discovered when I got access to the rubber contacts was that the bulb of the contact had gotten deformed, kinda like when people push in...

Isopropyl rubbing alcohol Well I don't know what to say to this statement, that rubbing alcohol causes problems as the last writer just wrote. The guy I contacted orginally about getting help with fixing my keyboard, had worked in a shop that almost exclusively worked on Fatar keyboards, and...

Questions Which DAW software are you recording in? You play while recording, okay, but then after it has been recorded, and you then hit the PLAY button, then you discover a "latency" problem? Am I understanding you correctly? I need to know what Recording software you are using, to really...

Mackie CFX12, but I used to own an EV mixer for my keyboards, and liked it a lot. When it finally needed replacing, I "upgraded" to the Mackie CFX-12. But I found out that the Mackie mixer, for all its bells and whistles, leaves me disappointed in one critical way - it's not as "loud" as my...

Wrongo Zazz is actually correct in his understanding about traffic regulations vs crime. I went to Law School. Violating a traffic regulation (and we thus call them so, because they are not crimes), has no culpability involved. The traffic judge is not interested in any excuses, not...

if you can find one A couple years ago, I helped a girl get into a laptop computer bundled up with Reason and a couple MIDI controllers so she could practice all the neat new stuff I was introducing her to. She bought an Axiom 61 (to use at her apartment), and also a Roland Edirol PCR-M1...

Typically excellent My first round was when I laid out almost $8,000 buying my Kurzweil K-2500XS with other equipment from them, back in 1999. Good experience. Then, my next couple of purchases went smooth, too. But then I was handed over to a different sales engineer, who really didn't, and...
