Kurzweil PC3K Combines Game-Changing Technology with K Series Sample Library
Kurzweil Music Systems proudly announces the release of the PC3K keyboard, expanding the PC3 line to include key new features along with backwards compatibility with the legendary K Series product line.
In addition to all of the innovative features that made the PC3 a major success, the PC3K features 128 MB of non-volatile user sample memory. Utilizing a breakthrough in sample flash technology, the PC3K allows user samples to remain intact after a power-cycle, with zero load time upon powering back on. The PC3K can load .WAV files, but more importantly, it can load legacy Kurzweil .K files from the K2000, K2500 and K2600 keyboards. This opens up a whole new world of sonic possibilities; users can now combine the PC3K's unmatched Dynamic V.A.S.T. synthesis engine with the staggering library of K Series samples generated by users and developers alike for over 15 years.
Along with K Series samples, the PC3K will support the importing of most K Series keymaps, programs and setups, providing seamless integration for existing K series customers and an enticingly large collection of sounds for new Kurzweil users to explore. From Broadway performers and high profile pop stars to working players, the PC3K will allow musicians who've relied on Kurzweil for years to continue using their sounds with the next generation of our technology, without having to start over from scratch.
Mike Papa, Kurzweil National Sales Manager for American Music and Sound, couldn't be more thrilled. "This is the breakthrough the industry has been waiting for - the added value of 18 years' worth of K Series sound development is simply immeasurable. It's mind-blowing to think that artists can continue to build upon the body of work they've been creating for just under two decades, when most other manufacturers require users to re-invent the wheel each time a new platform is introduced."
In addition to the ability to load samples, the PC3K offers basic sample editing and full keymap editing. Of course, all of the features and presets that made the PC3 so popular are present as well; anti-aliasing VA oscillators, improved KB3 Mode, Classic Keys, Orchestral and String Sections sound sets, the renowned Kurzweil Grand Piano, Cascade Mode, 16 independent Riffs and arpeggiators, Song Mode and QA mode, unparalleled MIDI control, and the list goes on.
Another major improvement added to the PC3K is the inclusion of a USB host port to support the use of thumb-drives for data loading and storage as well as OS updates.
Kurzweil SP4-8! Delivers Flagship Sounds in an Affordable, Customizable Stage Piano
Kurzweil Music Systems is proud to announce the release of the SP4-8 stage piano, a premium instrument designed for musicians who require exceptional sound quality and expression. Top professionals and hobbyists alike will be able to appreciate the responsive 88-note hammer-weighted action, nuanced sound design and advanced performance features, all of which set the SP4-8 apart.
Equipped with many of the same sounds and effects as our acclaimed PC3 family, the SP4-8 offers the best Kurzweil has to offer; a variety of exquisite acoustic pianos, vintage electric pianos, dazzling string sections, lush pads, KB3 organs, mallets, drums, basses, guitars and more. With four programmable zones, the SP4-8 conveniently allows you to create splits and layers at the touch of a button, which means you can react and adjust your sound in a live setting on-the-fly with comfort and ease.
"Until now, the industry has not seen a stage piano with this level of sound quality, end of story", states Mike Papa, National Sales Manager for American Music and Sound. "With the ability to download additional sounds via USB, the SP4-8 can be custom tailored to suit any player's needs. Once again we're proud to continue our tradition of non-obsolescence by design with products that can grow and evolve along with players."
With additional sounds online available for download, you can create a personalized sound set with absolutely no "filler". Don't need drums or guitars? Download extra electric pianos and KB3 organs. Also, the SP4-8 can load programs created on our PC3 and PC3LE keyboards. All of this means that you, the player, can be involved in shaping the character of an instrument that you can truly call your own.
The SP4-8's slim enclosure gives it a small footprint, while it's still rugged and solid enough to easily withstand heavy and frequent playing. Weighing in at 39 lb. (17.7 kg), it's our lightest ever 88-note keyboard, striking the perfect balance between and portability and playability.
We hope that the SP4-8 will become more than just a tool, and more of a partner in your creative process and music making.
