Kurzweil K250 Complete Sound Library

via this auction via gpoltrock in the comments of this post
"complete set of original disks for the famous, groundbreaking Kurzweil K250 keyboard as used by Stevie Wonder, Paul Schaffer, Kenny Rogers and others. There are 12 boxes of 10 disks each. 120 disks that include a great variety of sounds: piano, guitar, choir, drums, bells, harpsichord, ethnic, sound effects and more. Eleven of the boxes include documentation on the sounds and install process.

Of course, you have to have a Kurzweil K250 of RMX to use these and I offer these disks not really expecting much interest as the K250 sold for around $11,000 in the early 80s. 4000 were manufactured and there are probably few around in working order. Not being familiar with the instrument’s operation, I wonder if an old Macintosh computer is needed, too. The documentation states:

'The sound library is a growing collection of Kurzweil sounds on Macintosh disks accessible to you for playing in your K250 or RMX through QLS and the sound modeling program.'

The QLS might be a faster sound loading system for the 250... using the Mac instead of the floppy on the keyboard. It then lists the procedure on how to load a Kurzweil sound library disk using QLS. (Quick Load System)."
