More on the Kurzweil PC3
With a sleek new look on the outside, and an arsenal of Kurzweil's
latest cutting edge chip technology under its hood, the 76-note PC3
delivers 128 voices of incredible sound quality along with a host of
powerful, easy to use features. The PC3 is Kurzweil's ultimate
performance controller keyboard, with an enormous collection of
stunning sounds combined with comprehensive real-time controller
functions. In addition to the renowned Triple Strike Grand Piano, the
PC3 features hundreds of new 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. The PC3's new Dynamic V.A.S.T. architecture is
a huge step forward in synthesis, the fruit of several major strides
made in improving processing power, flexibility and user-friendliness.
Good news for synth enthusiasts - seamlessly integrated the legendary
VA-1 Virtual Analog Synthesizer into this system! For good measure,
Kurweil has nclude an unlimited-track sequencer with 1536 PPQ
resolution and more effects processing power than the acclaimed KSP8
processor, making the PC3 a full blown music production workstation.
Add in USB, flash xD card port, a newly designed keyboard action, and a
new intuitive user interface, and you've got the next generation of
Kurzweil instruments.
It's a performance controller. It's a synthesizer. It's a workstation.
One
thing which clearly sets Kurzweil apart from the competition is the
fact that we design their own chips (called ASICs) for all Kurzweil
products. Simply put, the chips are customized for optimum audio
performance. What does this mean for the end user? It means that all of
the processing power in a Kurzweil chip is devoted exclusively to
sound. It means no noticeable latency - the performance is always
lightning fast. And most importantly, it translates into that rich,
full, glitch-free sound for which Kurzweil has become famous. Yes,
developing their own chips is more expensive and more time consuming.
But well worth it. Once you've heard the PC3, we think you'll agree.
