It is recommended to simply use Windows Media Player to playback the MIDI files into the Kurzweil. You will need to have a MIDI interface (strongly not recommended to have just a joystick port MIDI cable, these can cause the procedure to fail).<\/p>\n<p>2. Make sure your MIDI interface is the default playback device in Control Panel &#8211; Sounds and Audio devices (or in Windows 98, Multimedia), go to the Audio or MIDI tab, select your MIDI device&#8217;s MIDI port as the default MIDI playback device.<\/p>\n<p>3. You will need Boot Block 2.0 or higher to update to a newer OS.<\/p>\n<p>4. Hookup the MIDI out of your MIDI interface to the MIDI in of the PC2.<\/p>\n<p>5. If the PC2 is on, power it off. Power on the PC2, while it says Please Wait on the display, press the:<\/p>\n<p>Panic button for keyboard models<br \/>Edit\/Store button for rack models<\/p>\n<p>6. Go to Install Engine, press Yes.<\/p>\n<p>7. The display changes to Install Engine via MIDI. Press Yes.<\/p>\n<p>8. The display changes to Waiting for MIDI.<\/p>\n<p>9. Now start Media Player playing back the MIDI file.<\/p>\n<p>This file is in the CD-Rom directory flashrom\\sysfiles.<\/p>\n<p>pc2gm400.mid = General MIDI operating system for PC2 76key<br \/>pc2orch400.mid = Orchestral operating system for PC2 76key<br \/>pc2pgm400.mid = General MIDI operating system for PC2 PCX-1, PCR1, PCR-2<br \/>pc2porch400.mid = Orchestral operating system for PC2 PCX-1, PCR1, PCR-2<br \/>pc2rgm400.mid = General MIDI operating system for PC2 rack<br \/>pc2rorch400.mid = Orchestral operating system for PC2 rack<br \/>pc2gm400.mid = General MIDI operating system for PC2 88key<br \/>pc2orch400.mid = Orchestral operating system for PC2 88key<\/p>\n<p>* This update will take 15-25 minutes<\/p>\n<p>The display will read:<\/p>\n<p>Sys3-0 file 1 of 1<br \/>segment 1 of x<\/p>\n<p>10. When the display says Done, you can stop Media Player if it didn&#8217;t stop automatically.<\/p>\n<p>11. If your instrument does NOT contain the PCX-1 option, proceed to step 12. If it DOES contain the PCX-1 option, you need to update its operating system software as well, go back to step 9 and load the appropriate pc2p**** file.<\/p>\n<p>12. Use Left or Right buttons to select Hard RESET on the menu, press Yes.<\/p>\n<p>13. The display will say Erase RAM objects? Press the Right button.<\/p>\n<p>14.
