    Chapter 1 introduction version 2 operating system software for the k2600 works in any k2600 model. It provides two important new features: • triple-modular processing • hard-disk partitioning triple-modular processing takes vast to the third power, you can create a super-layer (called a triple) that...

    Chapter 2 triple modular processing overview triple-modular processing is an enhancement to kurzweil’s vast synthesis model (variable- architecture synthesis technology). The vast model incorporates multi-layer programs; each layer in a vast program uses an algorithm that includes pitch control, the...

    2-2 triple modular processing overview note that any processing in layer 2 that’s “downstream” (to the right) of the input(s) from layer 1 gets applied to the signals from both layer 1 and layer 2. After the processing in layer 2, the signal passes to layer 3 for still more processing before going t...

You can’t patch an external signal into a triple, however; the kds inputs w...
