PC3-LE6
The Best Sounds, The Best Features, The Right Price
Fantastic sounds, reliable performance, musical
expressiveness, ease of use; these are the things we believe are essential to
the design of an affordable keyboard instrument. Kurzweil's new PC3LE6 combines
the amazing sound quality and performance control features of our enormously
successful PC3 with a new streamlined, intelligent user interface, providing an
interactive experience that is bound to inspire creativity.
It's The Sound...
Under the hood, the PC3LE features the same groundbreaking
chip technology that has made the PC3 the most talked about keyboard in recent
years. All of the PC3's sounds are included - the famous Kurzweil grand piano,
vintage electric pianos, Clavinets and Mellotrons, dazzling Orchestral and
Strings collections, stunning VA virtual analog synths, KB3 organs, realistic
basses, drums, guitars, percussion and horns, General MIDI, plus nearly 200 new
programs developed specifically for the LE; over 1050 programs in all. Kurzweil
has
improved the method for navigating through such a massive sound set; programs in
the LE can be viewed and selected with a new set of Category buttons. Select
"Leads" and you'll see a list of all the synth leads in the machine, grouped
together. Same goes for the other 20 categories, everything from Synth Bass to
Mallets to Guitars.
These programs take advantage of Kurzweil´s V.A.S.T. synthesis engine, using pristine
samples paired with detailed programming of literally hundreds of synth and
effects parameters. Whether it's the rosin of a bowed string instrument, the
resonant harmonics of a piano's damper pedal, or the thumps and squeaks of an
electromechanical keyboard, Kurzweil have done their homework and provided a level of
detail and realism that can only be found in a Kurzweil. Which means you can
focus on the important business of making music.

KS-40A
PC3: A Performance Keyboars out all the stops
Kurzweil´s motto, "It's The Sound" applies to not only
keyboards, but to every step in the process of making music.... And so Kurzweil
is pleased to present a new line of affordable, compact self-powered monitor
speakers. The first model to be introduced, the KS-40A system, is a solid value,
competing favorably with other monitors in and above its price range.
Kurzweil believe the most accurate sound comes from the right combination of
ingredients. Housed in a heavy, thick-walled, non-resonant wood cabinet, the
KS-40A's sport a magnetically shielded, two-way, bass reflex design and a
compact footprint.

PC3 - Reviewed in Electronic Musician
PC3: A Performance Keyboard that
pulls out all the stops
"I cannot think of a more thorough and better-implemented
performance keyboard than the PC3x. The sounds are rich, expressive, and
natural. Learning to become an expert V.A.S.T. programmer is difficult, but
maneuvering around the instrument for typical live tasks couldn't be simpler.
Quick Access mode puts you one button away from whatever sound or preprogrammed
setup of splits/layers you need, and there are numerous other shortcuts and
button combinations. The user definability of every real-time control is beyond
that of any other hardware synth.
Best of all, the PC3x is an honest-to-goodness synthesizer at heart. The VA-1
marriage with V.A.S.T. is brilliant, and you get an overwhelming number of
usable preset sounds. Whether your interests are classical, pop, rock, jazz, or
urban, the PC3x will become the centerpiece of your composition duties and the
star of your stage performance. It's a beautifully crafted instrument that's a
pure joy to play."

voices of incredible sound quality along with a host of powerful, easy to use

PC3 - Key Buy winner in Keyboard Magazine
PC3: The Ultimate Gig Keyboard
according to Keyboard Magazine
Conclusion from Keyboard Magazine:
"The Kurzweil PC3 is truly the ultimate gig machine. For
versatility and realism, its sounds slam the balls out of the
park and into the next county. It takes work to find a Program
that won’t plaster an ear-to-ear grin across your face as you
begin to remember the chords to “that” song.
Compare it to any do-every-sound keyboard anywhere near its price
— whether that keyboard has a cutting-edge sequencer with color
graphics or no sequencer at all — and you won’t find the PC3’s
tonewheel organ and analog modeling on top of the usual
sample-playback synthesis.
Sound designers will love the fact that any layer in a Program
can feed its output into any other layer’s signal chain, which is
something else you don’t see on just any workstation. All this adds
up to real musical instrument that, while not exactly cheap, is a
world-beating value — and an obvious Key Buy winner."

SP2X Wins 2008 EDITORS' CHOICE AWARD
Shortly after the release of SP2X - the new stage
piano from Kurzweil wins 2008 Electronic Musician´s EDITORS' CHOICE AWARD
Here are the reasons why with Electronic Musician´s own
words:
"Kurzweil is a name that's been synonymous with
high-quality piano sounds for years, and the new SP2X Stage Piano
stays true to the company's legacy. The instrument provides 64-voice
polyphony alongside 16-part multitimbral operation and includes an
internal USB interface with MIDI I/O for transferring data to a
computer or updating its operating system.
The keyboard will be at home in your studio, onstage, or anywhere in
between. At just under 50 pounds, and designed with travel in mind,
it's light enough for one person to manage. Its well-designed front
panel, complete with four flexible multipurpose knobs, makes it easy
to adjust parameters, even in low-light situations.
The SP2X's action is well suited to both rapid staccato passages and
smooth lyrical lines, and the 88-key fully weighted action offers
just the right amount of response, though you can pick from any of
seven Velocity sensitivity levels to configure the axe to your
playing style. With a wide range of internal sounds that extends
well beyond the basics, not to mention its 64 prerecorded drum
grooves and large number of effects, the SP2X will be a great
partner in any musical situation".
