KURLE - KURZWEIL 1000 and 1200 SERIES EDITOR/LIBRARIAN 3-96



KURLE - a KURZWEIL Librarian Editor for IBM compatible  PCs

provides basic librarian, powerful editing features and an

extensive sound patch library for the Kurzweil 1000 and

1200 series keyboards and expander modules (including the

'pro' series). If you own a Kurzweil, you have a powerful

and flexible musical instrument!  KURLE provides the rest -

easy creation and editing, fast documentation, permanent

back-up and over 400 famous Kurzweil sound patches!  The

library includes patches from the AX, GX, SX, HX, and PX

Expanders and the K1000 and K1200 keyboards including the

ROM sounds lost when the Keyboards or Expanders are

upgraded to include the A or B block.

 

The librarian provides for saving and restoring of ALL RAM

or ROM object types, and for changing of object numbers and

names.  An on screen '23 button' Kurzweil front panel

emulator, MIDI trace utilities, and a librarian for system 

exclusive MIDI data are also included.  You can even create

and download your own K1000 demo song from any MIDI type 0

file.



The editor portion of KURLE adds the ability to EDIT,

DISPLAY, or PRINT the contents of objects resident in the

computer memory or objects in the Expander.  IBM or Mac

ObjectMover and ObjectMover+ files may be imported or

exported.  The library includes Kurzweil's ROM and RAM

program patches for all versions of the AX, GX, SX, HX and

PX Expanders and the K1000 and K1200 Keyboards.  The

LIBRARIAN/EDITOR supports ALL Kurzweil 1000 and 1200 Series

Keyboards and Expanders.



OBJECT EDITS:  All user available objects in the 1000 and

1200 Series may be easily edited with KURLE.  This includes

Program Objects, Master Table, MIDI Program Lists, Velocity

Maps, Intonation Tables, Bin Maps, Performance Setups and

Pressure Maps. You may quickly move to any desired

parameter and then scroll through the available values for

that parameter or directly enter a new value.  A

'note-play' feature complete with sustain, after touch, and

MIDI channel controls allows you to hear your changes from

the computer keyboard.  All parameters and modular effects

within a Program Object may be edited including modular

effects created by compiled effects.  Program layers are

edited one layer at a time.  ALL parameters of the layer

are displayed on the screen, along with parameters of any

sub-object being edited (LFO1, AMP ENV, etc.).  Sub-objects

are displayed in their own window.  Think of how easy it

will be for you to set up or change 'Program Lists',

'Velocity Maps', 'Intonation Tables' or 'Program Objects'

when you can see the entire object at once!  The lay-out of

this editor will help you understand the relationships of

all of the various objects, global effects, layers, and

modular effects within layers.



OBJECT DISPLAYS and LISTS:  Complete  listings can be made

of all parameters in any type of object!  The screen

displays utilize windows, showing sub-objects (gLFO1, AMP

ENV, etc.) in an appropriately placed window on top of the

primary object.  The screen displays may be copied to a

printer with the 'Print Screen' key or better yet, more

useful 'archived listings' may be made to your printer or

to any file of your choice.  An option allows you to

include object names when producing an archived listing of

Program Lists.  The displays and printer output alone will

make KURLE a most valuable tool!  KURLE makes documentation

for your Kurzweil setups and programs a 'piece of cake'!



REQUIREMENTS/INFORMATION: Kurle is a text based MS-DOS program

that makes extensive use of hot keys for quick navigation

through the menu options. The program requires MS-DOS 2.0

or higher and 512Kb memory.  MDA, CGA, and monochrome or

color EGA, or VGA are supported (any display in Windows

95/98).  A mouse is not required.  Note that this program runs

very well in a Windows 95/98 MS-DOS Window - but does not use

Windows Midi Drivers.  Kurle supports Rev 1.0 through 5.32

of the Kurzweil 1000 series (Keyboards, expanders). 

To use Kurle you will need a MIDI interface that is compatible

with Kurle. Kurle is written to work with only a few very specific

MIDI interfaces. Kurle is a DOS porgram (not windows). It will 

run in a windows 95 or 98 DOS window as long as the supported

MIDI interface is not dedicated to or being used by a windows program.

Before you pay for Kurle you should test the MIDI interface you 

plan to use. Use the free download Kurle program to do this test. 



Supported Interfaces are:



   ISA Roland MPU 401 or compatible cards (few for sale any more)

** MusicQuest (Now OpCode) MQX32 is a supported ISA Plug in card.



** Key Electronics  MS101 serial interface card available from 

     www.MIDIator.com   This is a RS232 Serial port interface. 



**Soundblaster 2.0, Pro or ASP16 or compatible ISA sound cards.  

  These require a Game Port MIDI Cable adapter.   

   (Many so called Soundblaster compatible cards are

   not truly compatible for MIDI - the Media Vision PAS 16

   and other cards do not have a large enough MIDI input

   buffer and do not work well except with VERY  fast

   computers.) 



IMPORANT:  Many users (including me) OFTEN can not get Kurle to work in 

   a DOS window in windows 98  - or windows 95. I am not sure why this

   is!  It may have something to do with how Windows allows (or does

   not allow) DOS programs to use and or share the interrupts and 

   I/O addresses.  Before you give up, try Kurle after a straight boot

   to a DOS prompt!  This will almost always solve the problem assuming

   you have Kurle configured correctly (MIDI Interface, I/O addresses

   IRQs and all that stuff.) So, How do you boot to a DOS prompt. One way

   is to boot to windows, then Click 'Start' and select 'Shut Down'

   then select 'Restart in MS DOS Mode' There are other ways for pc nerds.



HINT:  You can use Device Manager to lean the IRQ, I/O address etc of your

   ISA MIDI Card or ISA Soundblaster Card. You will need these when you

   configure Kurle.  Click My Computer, Control Panel, System then select

   the Device Manager Tab.  Select your Sound Video Game Controller device,

   select properties then resources. If you use the Midiator 101 serial

   MIDI interface just know which Serial Port you plug it into. (1 or 2)

   and follow the instructions for configuring for that interface.



The editor/librarian (KURLE) and sound patch library is available 

as a download as shareware for only $20.00.  A comprehensive MSWord 

manual is included.
