The K-1000C is a compact single-output SD-card controller for WS2811 and WS2812 pixels. LEDEdit Pro 2026 exports .led files for it straight from the timeline.

K-1000C in LEDEdit Pro 2026

  • Two profiles: K-1000/K-1000C WS2811 / WS2812 and K-1000-ALL combined.
  • One output, up to 2,048 LEDs in the export profile.
  • The full editor: layers, scenes, 151 effects, text clips and the per-LED preview.

Example: a shop-window sign

A 64 × 16 matrix with an outline strip is a typical K-1000C job:

  • Matrix: 64 × 16 = 1,024 LEDs, wired serpentine.
  • Outline strip: 300 LEDs on the same output, continuing the chain.
  • Total: 1,324 LEDs — well inside the 2,048 limit.

Build it with Pattern Builder in the LED Layout Creator, then add a scrolling text clip on its own layer.

Tips

  • Start with the WS2811 / WS2812 profile; switch to ALL combined only if the controller does not play the file.
  • Check the colour order in the export dialog when colours look wrong.

FAQ

Which chips does the K-1000C profile support?
LEDEdit Pro 2026 has two K-1000 / K-1000C profiles: K-1000/K-1000C WS2811 / WS2812 and K-1000-ALL combined.
What is the ALL combined profile?
It writes a combined file variant of the K-1000 format. Use it when your controller expects the ALL file instead of the WS2811 / WS2812 file.
How many LEDs per output?
The K-1000 / K-1000C export profile allows up to 2,048 LEDs on its output.
