Kurzweil K2500 - RELEASE NOTES V2.5 Release Note page 7

Wheel Volume Map
We've provided several tone wheel volume maps here, based on measurements we've taken on different
organs. Choose from Bright, Equal, Mellow, or Junky.
Organ Map
This is the place to adjust the relative amplitude of each key, per drawbar. Like the tone wheel volume maps,
these maps are based on measurements we've made on actual organs. The choices are: Bob's, Peck's, Eric's,
and Equal.
Lower Transpose / Upper Transpose
These two parameters let you transpose the upper and/or lower tone wheels in semitone steps away from their
default tunings.
Lowest Pitch
Here you can specify the pitch of the lowest tone wheel, which is typically set to C2. The rest of the tone
wheels – as many as you have specified in the NumToneWheels parameter – will be tuned in semitone steps
above this pitch.
KB3 Program Editor–DRAWBR Page
Press the Drawbr soft button to access the KB3 Program Editor's Drawbar Page. This page lets you edit KB3's
drawbars. Remember that your K2500's sliders function as drawbars 1-8, while the mod wheel is drawbar 9.

Mode
When you set Mode to "Preset," the preset drawbar settings on this page will be installed at program selection.
The drawbar values will immediately change, however, as soon as you move the drawbar. Set Mode to "Live" if
you want the drawbar volume settings at program selection to be determined only by the position of the MIDI
drawbar controllers (e.g., mod wheel and sliders). With either setting – Preset or Live – the MIDI drawbar
controllers will affect drawbar volumes subsequent to program selection.
Steps
This parameter lets you specify the increments by which drawbar volumes will change. Choose either "0-8", to
approximate the drawbar settings on actual organs, or choose "0-127" for a finer degree of resolution.
Volume
This parameter only appears if you've set Mode (see above) to "Preset". Use the Volume parameter to set the
preset volume of each of the nine drawbars. The available values will be 0-8 or 0-127, depending on the setting
of the Steps parameter, also on this page.
