Kurzweil K1000 AX Plus Acoustic Expander K1000AX K 1000 AXKurzweil K1000 AX Plus Acoustic Expander in very good condition with just some minor play wear from normal use. Excellent operating condition. Includes power cable. The K1000 also has a very sophisticated digital/wave synthesizer engine. K1000 patches start life as a digitally coded waveform that Kurzweil calls a Soundfile. A Soundfile can be a sampled waveform (coming from Kurzweil's famous samples like piano, string, wind, etc...) or a digitally produced waveform like sine, sawtooth, or square. Then, you put Soundfiles together into the layers of a program. Effects are part of each layer as well. The K1000 also came in a series of rackmount synths. The so-called "1000 Series" consists of no less than ten different models of the rackmount version of the synth. Each module in the series has a different set of sounds. Complicating things further, you could upgrade these modules, so that they may have one name on the front panel, but have the features and sounds of a different model from the series. Some of the upgrades include: 1000 AX Plus Acoustic Expander (185 presets - all SX and HX plus more) 1000 GX Guitar Expander (100 presets) 1000 HX Horn Expander (75 presets) 1000 HXA Expansion ROM: Soprano sax, Alto sax, Baritone Sax, Brass stabs 1000 SX String Expander (99 presets) 1000 PX Professional Expander (120 presets) 1000 PXA Expansion ROM: Flute, Rhodes, E. bass, Drums, more waveforms 1000 PXB Expansion ROM: Steel guitar, Harp, Marimba, Tenor Sax, Percussion Product Specs |
