some operating systems for the p3k

some operating systems for the p3k

(this list is incomplete !)
version known bugs
os release 1.0 (30 sept 1987) this operating system came with the first 60 or so p3ks that were shipped to europe.
altogether it is pretty stable on my p3k (serial no. 47), although the midi implementation has some bugs.

known bugs :
  • it's impossible to tweak any parameters using the two assignable midi-controllers
  • when in midi mode 4, the p3k doesn't always receive on all midi channels; occasionally it only receives on the midi channel of the currently selected preset. sometimes the problem seems to disappear by itsself, most of the time it doesn't and you'll have to reboot...
os release 3.0b this is one of the latest (if not *the* latest) available operating systems available for the p3k. i don't remember hearing a lot of complaints from revision 2 p3k users. on revision 1 machines (like mine), this OS is a definite no-no. it's too unstable to even safely adjust start and end positions of your samples, let alone loop them.
other drawback : no format disk option
