Appendix C
Stereo Piano ROM
The Stereo Piano ROM option adds 4 Megabytes of Stereo Piano samples to your K2500, and also enables you
to upgrade your sounds further with the 8 Megabyte Orchestral ROM and the 8 Megabyte Contemporary
ROM. The Stereo Piano Option adds objects in the 700s bank. There you will find new programs, keymaps,
samples, and a new effect - "709 Soundboard/Rvb".
Monaural Piano Programs
Most of the new piano programs are set to play in stereo, though "780 MonoStudioGrand," as well
as a number of programs on the accessory disk are designed for mono use. If the pianos are to be
played through a mono sound system, the best results will come from these mono programs, not
the stereo programs mixed to mono.

Stretch Tuning

Unless otherwise noted, piano programs are "stretch" tuned, like an acoustic piano. Since the
higher harmonics of a stretched string tend to be sharper than those of the real harmonic series,
stretch tuning ensures that the piano remains in tune with itself harmonically. Stretch tuning is
sometimes referred to as "solo" or "beat" tuning.
Keymaps with "440" as part of their name - such as "776 Mono Piano 440" offer straight (non-
stretch) tuning, where the fundamental of each note is tuned to A440. Programs that use these
keymaps (e.g., "777 Piano for Layers") will mix better with other acoustic and electronic
instruments. This type of tuning, therefore, is sometimes known as "ensemble" tuning.
Stereo Piano ROM Programs
As shown below, the number of programs added to the 700s bank will depend on whether you
have also added the Orchestral and/or Contemporary ROM options. Contact your Young Chang
/ Kurzweil dealer if you are interested in these additional upgrades.
