URL for Pro I FTP

To manipulate programs and banks on the K1200 Pro I, I am using Mac Object Mover on a Power Mac running on OS 8.6, saving the programs/banks as MOM files. I also have Galaxy.

Kurzweil 1200 Pro I Banks

I have recently developed two banks of new sounds for the Pro I and have made these available - together with the original Kurzweil 1200 Pro I programs - for FTP download from the following location:

All the MOM program files have been binhexed, so they will need to be un-binhex'd following download from the FTP site. The relevant files at the FTP site are:

1200 Pro I PROGS copy.hqx Original Kurzweil Pro I programs

Roy’s KProI Bank 1.Hqx
A bank of 23 new programs that I recently developed

Roy’s KProI Bank-1.pdf
A pdf doc containing a description of each program in Bank 1, incl. Prog & ID No’s and a comment on each patch

Roy’s KProI Bank 2.Hqx
A bank of a further 23 of my new programs

Roy’s KProI Bank-2.pdf
A pdf doc with a description of each prog in Bank 2

My new programs are mainly an exploration of the K1200 Pro I’s ability to generate synthetic sounds, including some nice analogue-type synth patches and pads, but there are also some electric pianos in there and some patches with combinations of natural instruments.

Here are a few tips regarding FTP downloading of these files:

If you are using MAC OS 8.6:Go to the URL shown above and click on the relevant file to download to your computer.
If the file is a Binhex’d MOM file (hqx):Launch Binhex, select Binhex-to-application, then select the relevant hqx file- the hqx file should be converted to the original MOM file.

If you are using a Mac G4 running OS X:Go to the URL shown above and click on the relevant file to download to your computer (do not OPEN and do not "unstuffit" at this stage - just SAVE to diskYou may need to do two iterations of Binhexing to recover the MOM file.

I can also upload banks as (binhex'd) Galaxy files if necessary (and probably also SYSEX files, though I haven't tried this yet).

I would be interested to receive other people's banks of sounds for the 1200 Pro I (and other K1000 modules). I do not have the K1000 Kurle editor/librarian for PC, so if anyone has programs in this format and knows how I might access them on a Power Mac please let me know.

Kurzweil 1200 Pro I

The initial focus of this blog will be sound synthesis and sound programme libraries for the Kurzweil 1200 Pro I synthesizer module. (In contrast, technical issues for this synthesizer are handled by the Yahoo K1000 Users group).
I am currently developing new sounds for the K1200 Pro I and would like to discuss sound synthesis on this instrument with other Kurzweil enthusiasts.
