Oh, and abacus... Yes, there's still a lot of useful sounds and features in the old K2500 that nothing else still has. It is definitely the most powerful master controller I've ever seen. You can make almost anything do anything! Want the sliders to play notes..? No problem! Want the volume to drop slightly as you add more notes (for divisi)..? No problem! Want to change zones using the touch strip..? No problem! It's a geek's wet dream!
BTW, the strings are a custom patch, not the internals. Part Peter Scziedlek, part Sweetwater (cello), part public domain (violin), part who knows what! I made it about eight years ago, and even I can't remember exactly what went in..! The woods are factory Orch ROM chip.
