Re: k2000r module

Go to this page on the Kurzweil site, and scroll down 
to the COMPATIBILITY (General MIDI Files) section.
Select the version that matches your hardware profile.

You'd have to get them onto your K2000R, somehow.
If you have a floppy drive that you can use to 
move files between your computer and your K2000R,
you can do this easily.

These GM banks require some sample RAM in order to
for some of the sounds to work. The samples themselves
will not persist between powering down and back on again. 
However, most of the other programs will continue to play
fine. Just a few samples will be gone, so that file would
need to be reloaded.

On that topic, it could be useful for you to learn
about the different load modes so you can choose
the right options during the load to insert
the samples but not have to reload the rest.

I keep a little cheat sheet around that says this:

OverWrite: Deletes bank, Loads w/ stored #
OvFill: Deletes bank, Loads w/ consecutive #
Fill: Ignores stored #, Loads w/ consecutive #, skips occupied #
Merge: Loads w/ stored #, overwrites occupied #
Append: Loads w/ stored #, If # is occupied, uses next free #

So if you are loading a GM bank with samples,
then later you power off and back on,
you could then reload the GM bank, using either OverWrite, or Merge.
