Version 2.0 Release Notes
for Kurzweil Mark 150/10 & Young Chang DG 150
This document describes the changes and new features that are part of version 2.0 software for
the Kurzweil Mark 150/10 and Young Chang DG 150 digital pianos.
New Piano Sound
The tuning of the Piano sound has been adjusted to be even more accurate. Also, many of our
customers have asked for a “warmer” piano sound. This new piano sound is available as the
Grand Piano Variation sound. The "bright" piano that was formerly the Grand Piano Variation
is available through MIDI as program number 109. A complete list of the new programs
available through MIDI is included in this document.
New Song Chain Feature
Your songs can now be played in a “chain.” To do this, press Demo and then Loop (in the
recorder section). All songs (1 through 8) that you have recorded or loaded from a file will now
be played, back to back. If the song is a General MIDI (GM) song, it should automatically go
into GM mode. If it does not, refer to the “GM file load” section of these notes to find out how
to set the song as a GM song. Songs that have been recorded with looped tracks will only play
the looped track once. Otherwise the Song Chain would get “stuck” on that song! The chain
play can be stopped by pressing any button on the front panel, which puts you back into Demo
mode. You can exit Demo mode by pressing the Demo button.
Enhanced Full Keyboard Mode
Full keyboard mode now requires you to play 3 or more notes in order to change chords. If 3
notes are played, the chord will change. Then you can “solo” over that without fear of changing
chords. Also, in full keyboard mode, if chord hold is ON, a chordal backing is playing, and
you play an “unknown” chord, the backing will not change.
New MIDI Features (overview)
These new features are useful if you are using the Mark 150/10 as a sound engine with an
external sequencer, or if you are using the internal recorder to play back Standard MIDI files
(SMF). They are used quite a bit for General MIDI (GM) files.
The Mark 150/10 now responds to MIDI controller #11, Expression.
Registered parameters for Transposition, Tuning, and Pitch Bend Range are recognized. See the
MIDI section or a MIDI specification for more detail on this. Note that the Pitch Bend Range
parameter only works if the Mark 150/10 is in General MIDI mode.
