Do I Have Everything?
Your K2600 shipping carton should include the following in addition to your instrument:
¥ Power cable
¥ Sustain pedal (keyboard models only)
¥ Instructional video
¥ Two manuals: the MusicianÕs Guide (this manual) and the MusicianÕs Reference
¥ A set of accessory disks
If you donÕt have all of these components, please call your Kurzweil/Young Chang dealer.
The Accessory Disks
The set of accessory disks that came with your K2600 should include the following:
K2600 Base ROM Objects
This disk contains two Þles. The Þrst Þle is named OBJKBXXX.K26 (where XXX is the version
number). The second Þle is named OBJKLXXX.K26 (where XXX is the version number). These
disks provide a backup of the ROM Objects installed in your K2600 at the factory.
You will not normally need to use these disks, however you should keep them in a safe place in
case you need to reinstall this version of the operating system. For example, if you have installed
a newer version of the objects (we make new versions available for download from our web site)
and you encounter any problems, you might need to go back and install the version on these
disks.
OBJKB contains all of the objects in a stock K2600 without sampling. OBJKL contains the Live
Mode objects, which are included in a unit with the sampling option installed.
When you install a new version of the operating system, youÕll need to load all the object Þles
for the options you have. This includes the object Þles for the Orchestral and Contemporary
ROM blocks, if you have them. Load the system Þles Þrst, then all of the object Þles, then exit the
Boot Loader by pressing the Run System soft button. See Appendix A if you need help with
operating the Boot Loader.
K2600 General MIDI Compatibility
This is a two-disk set, intended to make the K2600 compatible with General MIDI (GM)
programs. The K2600 is not a General MIDI instrument. GM was intended as a least common
denominator and is normally found on low-end instruments, not instruments intended for the
high-end professional.
Nonetheless, we have created a GM compatibility Þle that can be loaded into the K2600. It
contains samples and therefore must be loaded into the unit each time you power up.
There are three different GM Þles. Which Þle you use depends on which ROM blocks you have
in the K2000. The disk that comes with your unit is for a K2600 without any additional ROM
blocks. If you purchase the Orchestral or Contemporary ROM block, you will receive two other
ÞlesÑone for a unit with just the Orchestral ROM added, and one for a unit with the Orchestral
and Contemporary ROM added. You can also download these Þles from the Downloads page of
our web site:
