The programs above don't communicate with the Kurzweil ITSELF, but the disks. If you try to read a Kurzweil CD or disk in a computer (PC or Mac), it won't read it's directory, because the Kurzweil format is different then a standard computer disk format. The programs above are designed to read these disks, and convert what they see into .exs files and WAVE/AIFF files. For example, it'll see a file called "brass.krz", and say that contains 5 Programs and 25 samples. They'll make 5 .exs files and 25 sample files; each .exs file will correspond to the programming/mapping of those Kurzweil programs, and the samples will represent each sample.
