Choosing a synthesizer

The December 1995 issue of Keyboard is a hardware buyer's guide.
The overview of synthesizers and tone modules that are most current
nowadays has an item "tuning tables". Of some, the tuning resolution
is listed but not all. It does say what the range of tuning is for
a key, usually full range or a whole or half semitone less or more.

Friends,
This is a rather basic question I know, but does anyone know what
the tuning resolution of the K2000? How many steps are possible between a
semitone, and if this number is something like 2048 or hopefully 4096, how
are translations made between this number and cent values? Thanks in
advance.

Safe Journey...

In a message dated 96-11-19 12:16:48 EST,
he who only calls himself "PAULE" writes even more:

I think:
The K2000 --> K25000 and the VX-24 made by someone else.
