Welcome!

KurzKeySite is online. Over the years as a Kurzweil user I have built up a lot of know-how, and I would like to pass it on: guides, overviews and sound sets for these wonderful instruments, content I first posted in the Kurzweil Facebook groups (often updated and reworked since), and useful tools to share. Here it is all in one place that is easy to search and does not scroll away. More will be added step by step. Have fun!

About

KurzKeySite is a private, non-commercial site. Over many years I have built up a lot of know-how about the great Kurzweil keyboards and written a number of tools for my own work with them. I am happy to pass all of that on here — everything on this site is free to use, with no ads and no tracking.

Nature of this site

A private, non-commercial hobby project. Nothing is sold here, no advertising is carried, and no service is offered for payment.

Data protection

This site sets no cookies, uses no tracking or analytics, and asks for no personal data — there are no forms and no accounts. It is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, whose servers record the usual technical access data (IP address, time, requested file, browser) for delivery and security. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts a Google server and your IP address becomes known to it. If you install K-QA Bank Editor as an app, everything it stores stays in your own browser; nothing is transmitted to this site.

Use of AI

Parts of the guides, descriptions and tools on this site were created with the help of AI (Anthropic's Claude). All content is reviewed and edited by me.

Liability for content and links

The contents are compiled with care, but no guarantee is given for their accuracy or completeness. Everything here is offered as-is, for use at your own risk — always keep a backup of your instrument before loading files into it. Links to external sites lead to content outside my control; responsibility for it rests with the respective operator.
