When I use the 1.6.9 to do a batch converter of a folder of krz files, 2 files are created on the SD card. The name of one of the files begins by ._ and the other files have the same name of the files in the krz folder.


What is the folder name ?

Both file are identical... so it's a nonsense for me.
Can you retry the 1.6.9 cfg file ?

I just want to wrap up this topic. I can tell the HxC is working with the K2000, but for a reason that I don't know, there's some flaws. Sometime it works great and sometime there's problem to select a file. The K2000 gives a not ready message or it says the disk is not inserted, you have to select the files twice, even sometimes it's not working at all. For me, it's not the best solution to replace the floppy drive of my K2000, so I think I'll check for something else.
Don't worry, I'll use my HxC with an other sampler (the Korg DSS1 or the Mirage, I don't know yet).
Thank you Jeff for your patience and the info.
I love the HxC, I think it's great, but I don't want to use my time anymore on the K2000 and the HxC, may be someone else want to continue the investigation on that.
Peace and music everyone

This is probably because you change the floppy disk too fastly.
With some devices you need to wait 1/2 seconds to insert a new file image, otherwise the keyboard don't see the new disk...

In this case to change disk you must eject the actual image (middle button), wait 1 or 2 second, and choose the new image (left/right and middle button).

Remember of this : with true floppy disk changing disk take some seconds. So the fast way (directly right/left buttons) to disk change isn't very well supported by some system.

Anyway i will probably add a new parameter to avoid this issue.

Other possible source : a bad floppy cable.

I've purchased a couple of SCSI SD card readers for use with my K2000R and K2500XS, and the external one works well -- I haven't figured out how to power the internal drive since there's no obvious place for a power lead on the K2000R. It took me many hours to import all my Kurzweil sounds from cd and floppy to a computer, but I now have a huge collection of Kurzweil sounds on my computer's hard disk.

The floppy disk emulator seems to be a more cost-effective upgrade, since many of the files are under 2mb and would fit on a floppy disk. Does the floppy disk emulator power using the old floppy drive's power cable, or does it require a different voltage?

Same connector.
