User manual KURZWEIL K2600 ADAT IO OPTION RELEASE NOTES REV A

[. . . ] An optical AES Out connector is also provided (AES In is available on the Sampling Option). This option must be installed by a qualified Kurzweil service center. Cable Connections Use standard optical link cables (TOSlink) to make ADAT and AES connections. Although the format is different, the same type of cable is used for each type of connection. [. . . ] Use the other 4 sliders (E through H) to adjust the Insert FX wet/dry balance. The table below summarizes controller assignments in these two programs.

Outputs are set as follows: Output A: Mix Output B: Off Output C: Off Output D: Off These KDFX output settings present a Mix of the 8 ADAT channels at the Analog Mix outs, Analog A outs, and ADAT 1+2. If you wish to have 8 discrete ADAT output channels, use the following KDFX Output settings : Output A: PostFX1 Output B: PostFX2 Output C: PostFX3 Output D: PostFX4 2 K2600 ADAT I/O Option User's Guide / OS 4. 1 Release Notes Software Changes in OS 4. 1 Software Changes in OS 4. 1 You will notice the following software changes when you load the 4. 1 (or higher) K2600 Operating System. Some of the parameters listed here will only display if you install the ADAT Digital I/O Option. EditProg:KEYMAP Page For the PlayBackMode parameter, KDS In 1 through KDS In 8 change to ADAT In 1 through ADAT In 8. KDFXMode:CTRL Page Dither has moved to the MAST2 page (see description below). The parameter is now called Dig OutLen. SampleMode Page The Cable parameter is no longer provided, since (with the ADAT Option installed) all digital inputs to the K2600 are optical. The Src parameter no longer offers Return (Rtn) as a choice (with the ADAT option installed). The Out parameter (used with the DIO-26) has moved to the MAST2 Page and is now called AESOut (see description below). MAST2 Page There are several new parameters on the MAST2 page (Master Mode). The new parameters are described in the following section.

Dithering adds a small bit of noise to a digital signal to lower quantization distortion. Use the Dither parameter to select different digital noise floor characteristics. No setting is superior to another--each one is a tradeoff between perceived noise level and artifacts. Flat--the digital noise floor is spectrally flat, so it's a good choice for resampling the K2600's own output, as there will be no addition of noise in the process. This is sometimes known as triangular dither. 3 K2600 ADAT I/O Option User's Guide / OS 4. 1 Release Notes Software Changes in OS 4. 1 Minimum, Medium, Maximum--these utilize noise shaping in varying degrees. The noise floor has been essentially equalized to make it softer at midrange frequencies, and louder at bass and treble frequencies. The overall power level of the noise is actually higher than at the Flat setting, but due to the ear's spectral response at low levels, the noise floor appears lower at these settings. These values are not as useful as Flat for resampling, since the boosted noise may become quite noticeable if the sample is played transposed down a couple of octaves. [. . . ] This global parameter is remembered across power cycles, and is not part of any setup or KDFX studio. Cable This parameter only appears if a Sampling Option and a DIO-26 are installed. This parameter controls the choice of input signal to the Sampling Option, either Coaxial or Optical. This parameter also appears on the SampleMode page. AESOut This parameter only appears if you have a Sampling Option and a DIO-26. [. . . ]
