What’s an alternate method for transferring a Kurzweil K2000, K2500, K2600, or K2661 sequence into another sequencer?
If your external sequencer can’t read a .MID file, or you have some reason for not wanting to export it in that format, you can record a sequence in real time from the Kurzweil to another sequencer. Make sure that the Control parameter on the MIDI Transmit page is set to Both and that the tracks in the song are all assigned to Local + MIDI (eachTrack Destination parameter on the Song Edit COMMON page will be set to “-“). On the Song Mode MISC page, make sure Sync is set to Transmit or Both. On the external sequencer, set it to sync to an External Clock. Set up the tracks on the external sequencer to match all the channels being used on the Kurzweil sequence and make sure it is set to Multi-Record. (This will allow you to record multiple channels of information in one pass. If the sequencer can’t do this, you will have to make one pass for each MIDI channel.) Then press Record on the external sequencer and Play on the Kurzweil. The data will be recorded in real time.
