Version 3.52 for the K2000 has been released. Here in the US, we expect to
start shipping it before the end of the month. Expected list price is $149.
Following is a description of the new features:

Kurzweil K2000 Version 3.52 - New Features

Eight 32-layer drum channels are now available (P/RAM option required). By
>>default, MIDI channels 1-8 are defined as drum channels. You can, however, use the DrumChan parameter on the Master page to define a channel numbered higher than 8 to be a drum channel. In this case, the channel you choose, along with channels 1-7 will be your drum channels. For example, if you set DrumChan to 13, then your eight drum channels will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 13. If you set DrumChan to a value of 8 or less, however, your drum channels will always be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

>>A new option, "On2," has been added for the sustain pedal (Program editor - LAYER page). When you select "On2," the sustain pedal will not catch the
release of a note that is still sounding when the sustain message is received; this can be very useful in a program that uses amplitude envelopes with a long release time.

Disk Mode Enhancements

MIDI type 1 files can now be imported.

"Verify" has been added to the Disk page. This option, which is off by
default, double-checks the data integrity of all your backup, copy, and save operations. Verification also, however, increases the time required for these operations; you may not need to use it if you have a stable SCSI setup.

An Info soft button is now available on the Utilities page in Disk mode. Press this soft button to display information about your disk drive(s). The More button on the Info page displays formatting information for use by service personnel.

Also added to Disk mode is multiple file copy. As with other Disk mode
operations, use the Select soft button to select multiple files to copy.

The K2000 will now give you an option when you have formatted a floppy to
format another one. If you are formatting several floppies you will not
have to start from scratch each time.

The K2000's SCSI subsystem has been enhanced to accept a greater variety of
devices. Support for Iomega Zip/Jaz drives has been improved (the lockup
problem that occurred if the drive went to sleep has been eliminated),
and many more CD-ROM drives are now compatible with the K2000 (almost all CD-ROM >>drives except NEC now work).

Furthermore, the K2000 now supports disk drives of up to 2 Gigabytes (2048 Meg). V3.52 will work with drives larger than 2G but only the first 2 G will be utilized.

Previous to v3.52, for the Backup and Copy functions, the combined size of
both drives had to be under 1 gig unless PRAM was installed. This
limitation no longer exists.

Compatibility with the PC Exchange program has been improved in V3.52.
