Subject:RE: MKS-20 and sampled grands, OT big time

That's why I quoted the "improved" description. The 1U size is appealing.

I remember when they came out with the MKS20 and the keyboard version
(RD1000?), there was an article about the modeling that went into the
software. The basic concept was that it was not a sampler, but used models
for different circumstances - sustain pedal, adjacent notes, etc.

I never liked the sound by itself, but it did cut in a mix and live very
nicely.

It's too bad they didn't implement some way of using multiple MKS20-s for
more than 16 note polyphony. Kurzweil had a feature in the 1000 series where
you would tell the module it was the nth unit of x number of units and it
would ignore notes based on that.
