3.1 - OVERVIEW
The Kurzweil 250 models are electro-mechanical instruments.
They generate sound by a combination of
mechanical and electrical
functions. This section first presents an overview of the instru-
ments and then describes each sub-system as a
whole. . Each of the
three
Kurzweil 250 models are described under their specific
headings.
3.1.1 -
Kurzweil 250
The Kurzweil 250's hardware is divided into two modules, the
enclosure and the POD. The enclosure contains the piano keyboard
and most of the system's electronics. The
POD contains the power
supply and the foot pedals.
The enclosure usually rests on its stand. The POD sits on the
floor and is connected to the enclosure by a large harness cable.
The user has two main ways to control the instrument, through
the piano keyboard
(primarily during performance) and through the
front
control panel (mostly during "setup" before a performance).

Kurzweil 250X
The Kurzweil 250X's hardware is also divided into two
modules, the enclosure and POD. The enclosure contains most of the
system's
electronics. The POD contains the power supply. The POD
sits on the floor and is connected to the enclosure by a large harness
cable.

rack mount
