JMJ: "Zat's ze world's one and only custom-made Two-Voice rack version! Eet's one of a kind, I keed you not, and eet was very complicated to make!"

FYI: That's two racked SEM-modules over there. It's not that uncommon and they were certainly not custom made for JMJ.
That's the point. Nor is ...

In case it's still unclear, here's how to tell the versions from one another:

The easiest way to identify the earlier version is by the Eminent which is much more prominent in this version and plays along with the melody all over the piece. Also, the hi hat doesn't start before the main ...

Gm, Dm, Cm⁹, Gm

Jarre must be the only musician in the world who ever gave away the chords of his music that easily.

Just finished Oxygène. Proceeding to Equinoxe now.

I find hard drives more convenient, especially when you make use of a BOOT.MAC. The drive I found is not only claimed to work in the K2000, but it also draws little enough energy to be fed by the K2000 keyboard's weakly power unit. After all, that thing is 18 years old already, it's from the time ...

Well, La Défense might have had a similarly large audience as Oxygen In Moscow—had François Mitterrand built that skyscraper suburb on top of Montmartre. Then it would be possible to compare these shows. [Jarrism]I mean[/Jarrism], the MGU is the biggest building in Moscow, and whatever is built ...

44. Jarre asks if there happen to be any synth players from the BlahBlahCafe among the audience because his band is on strike for more money.

45. Actually, backing band and stage crew have been replaced by the Kelly Family who also provide the stage and the sleeping accomodations.

46. There are at ...

Benny Andersson – Yamaha GX-1

This thing is so darn huge and heavy that I cannot fit any more synths into this posting.

Will a K2000 ever reach a state in which you stop working on it, hardware-wise?

I think I finally found a decent HDD for my keyboard. Now I need to fit it in (and a sampler or two for the HDDs that didn't work in the Kurzweil, teehee). The Orchestral ROM is back in it, too, and it's working.

Next ...
