CHAPTER 1 -- Getting Started

Congratulations! You have chosen the most powerful tool to extract the most
out  of your powerful K2000 synthesizer. With  KLIB, you'll create and edit
K2000  objects with an efficient user interface,  store as many of them as
your hard  disk allows without  swapping floppy disks, and download them to
the K2000.  Hopefully, you should  already be in possession  of an
IBM-compatible PC with a  286 processor or  higher (e.g., 386, 486 or
Pentium), and a MIDI card installed in your computer.  Your computer should be
running Microsoft's Windows 3.1. Your MIDI card should  also have a Windows'
Multimedia driver. For KLIB to work with the K2000, you  must install  the
driver  for your MIDI card. Consult the instructions from the  manufacturer of
your MIDI  card for obtaining and installing the driver.

This manual will guide you through the operations in KLIB. However, as in all
software products, the best way to learn is to use it. You should be able to
start  using KLIB by the end of the next chapter.  There are two assumptions
this  manual makes, both of which are outside the scope of  this manual:
You're  an  experienced Windows user, You're familiar with the principals and
operations  of  the K2000. If you haven't studied the K2000 Musicians' Guide,
do so now.  Otherwise you won't get much out of  KLIB. We'll be using the
terminology of the  K2000 guide without explaining or defining each term in
this manual.

Installation
Start Windows. Insert the KLIB disk in drive A or B From Windows'  Program
Manager, open the File menu and select the Run command. In the dialog  box,
type a:setup and press enter (or b:setup, if you put the disk  in drive B).
Follow the instructions on the screen. At the end of the  installation, a
program group entitled KLIB will be created with a single  program icon.
Double-click this icon to start KLIB.

Tips: If your computer has a super VGA  (SVGA) card installed, we highly
recommend that you configure Windows with the  SVGA driver. Follow the
instructions provided by the video  manufacturer to  install the driver.
Although the KLIB user interface is designed  to work with  the normal VGA
(640 x 480) screen resolution, it  works best with higher resolutions.
Connections

KLIB communicates with the K2000 via the MIDI card in you PC. Here's the
simplest way to hook up your K2000 to the PC: (illust: Computer MIDI OUT to
Kurz MIDI IN, Computer MIDI IN to Kurz MIDI OUT)

Here's another setup: (illust: Computer MIDI OUT to Kurz MIDI IN) In this
example, you'll only be able to download (send   data to the K2000) and not
upload (obtain data from the K2000).

KLIB can operate in a one-way communication setup.

A Quick Overview
Here's a quick overview of what you can do with KLIB.  Create and edit all
types of K2000 objects except the song object.  Download and/or upload them.
Create master setting objects. A master setting contains a list of objects
which you can download in one shot. It also stores important global machine
settings that you'd like to set up for the song you're working on. Run
multiple copies of KLIB to copy objects between files via the clipboard.
Find out all the objects that  contain a particular object, e.g., programs
which use  the Grand Piano keymap.  Manipulate objects in the same way you'd
do on the K2000 such as renumbering and deleting objects.
