Kurzweil PC3 Keyboard

The Kurzweil PC3 76-Key Performance Controller delivers more than hundreds of sounds; basses, drums, guitars, and synths suited for every style and taste, along with a collection of flawless vintage keyboard emulations, KB3 Mode and over 250 orchestral and string section programs. For good measure Kurzweil included a 16-track sequencer and more effects processing power than our acclaimed KSP8 processor, making the PC3 a full blown music production workstation.

The PC3 is Kurzweil’s ultimate performance controller keyboard, with an enormous collection of stunning sounds combined with comprehensive real-time controller functions.

The PC3 76-Key Performance Controller offers an excellent sound set of over 800 programs, raising the bar once again for both audio quality and variety. With the best samples in the industry, and a powerful, responsive synth engine breathing life into them. The PC3′s backlit 240 x 64 display conveys all the information you’ll need, when you need it, in an elegant, easy to navigate environment. the PC3 offers more than twice the processing power of our acclaimed KDFX engine. Add in USB, flash card port, a newly designed keyboard action, and a new intuitive user interface, and you’ve got the next generation of Kurzweil instruments.

Effects can be chained together in series, or distributed among the Kurzweil PC3′s 16 multitimbral channels. And these are simply the best effects in the business – burning distortions, transparent compressors, warm phaser and chorus effects, perfect reverbs – everything from flawless vintage emulations to concert halls which decay into complete silence. All parameters are assignable to any of the Kurzweil PC3′s real time controllers – sliders, pedals, wheels, etc.
