Worked on my K2000R last week...
This synth is generally ignored in history, and dismissed as one of the early digital synths that are obsolete. And yet, we find K2000 sounds all over tracks that rocked deep underground rave dancefloors through the 1990s (do you remember Acid Eiffel ?!)
Yes, the K2000 series has it’s limitations but they are also super versatile. If there’s a thing you need to do sonically, there are often two or three different ways to accomplish it, each with some advantage. I won’t list all the unique features here, but nothing even in current software comes close.
Changed battery due to heavy corrosion, new eproms setup, last OS (with sounds of K2500), new blue backlight instaled and cleaned all conector, PCB... Works like a champ now!
