Software Upgrades
You can get software upgrades for your SP2 from Kurzweil's FTP website or from your
Kurzweil dealer. Because the software upgrades are encoded as one or more standard MIDI files
containing MIDI Sysex, you need a computer (Mac or Windows PC) with a MIDI interface and
sequencer to transfer the software to your SP2. Kurzweil's FTP website address is:
ftp://ftp:kurzweilmusicsystems.com/pub
Also, our download page will answer any questions you might have about how to download
files and get them into your SP2.

The software upgrades filenames are in the format SP2VVV.MID, where VVV is the version
number. The filename with "COMB" in it contains the combination of software upgrades and
sound objects.
