Download: www.synthcloud.com A collection of sounds inspired by the most famous songs by Pink Floyd, for the PC3. We made an update version of PF Cover Pack MKI adding some previously unrealeased sounds with a more realistic ambience. 35 new programs and setups.
Kurzweil PC3 Performance ControllerIn addition to Kurzweil's 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. 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.
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. What's InsideOne thing which clearly sets Kurzweil apart from the competition is the fact that we design our own chips (called ASICs) for all Kurzweil products. Simply put, their chips are customized for optimum audio performance. Other competitors use general purpose DSP chips commonly found in cell phones, watches and televisions. 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 latency - the performance is lightning fast. And most importantly, it translates into that rich, full, glitch-free sound for which Kurzweil has become famous. Yes it is more expensive and more time consuming for us to do it this way.
We think it is well worth it. Once you've heard the PC3, we think you'll agree. The Kurzweil SoundThe PC3 offers an enormous 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, you'll feel like you're playing an actual instrument, not just playing samples. Of course there's the famous Kurzweil Triple Strike Piano, with dozens of variations to accommodate every kind of player. All of the basic sounds - basses, guitars, drums, horns and synths - have been painstakingly programmed to reflect the needs of today's professional players, representing a broad selection of styles and flavors from the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and today. Also included is our Classic Keys ROM, which puts an impossibly large vintage keyboard rig at your fingertips.
The recognizable sounds of those classic electromechanical instruments, with all of their characteristic imperfections, have been faithfully re-created, along with pedals, amps and speakers. Lush Mellotrons, growling electric pianos, and funky Clavinets are all there at the touch of a button, programmed to sound just like those classic albums. For more vintage firepower, the PC3 is equipped with the most advanced version of Kurzweil's widely lauded KB3 Mode tonewheel organ simulator, which screams, sputters and sizzles just like the original. In addition to newly developed Leslie effects, and a new bank of B3 programs, we've also included sounds from the classic Vox and Farfisa combo organs. The PC3's 9 sliders provide real-time drawbar control.

The PC3 offers a full range of world class orchestral sounds, including our new String Section ROM bank, making it ideal for film-scoring and soundtrack projects. Every type of articulation, every nuance has been captured, with samples of full and divisi sections of violins, violas, cellos, and double bass.
The details, the warm swells, animated pizzicatos and the sound of scraping rosin all add to the breathtaking effect of these string sections. You can plug and play with sounds worthy of a finished production - instant gratification with uncompromising sound quality. User InterfaceWhile the PC3's user interface may look familiar to veteran Kurzweil users, major improvements have been made, allowing for a much more user friendly experience. Expanding upon our V.A.S.T.
Architecture, the PC3's new UI delivers all the power of a Kurzweil, combined with unprecedented ease of use. 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. All programs and setups will be accompanied by help messages which can be accessed by pressing an 'Info' soft button.
These help messages may contain controller assignments, or any other relevant information; for example, if the sound was derived from a classic song or album. Programs can be selected by scrolling or by using bank and program select buttons for easy one touch access.
Move a controller while holding the Cancel button, and the display will let you know what that controller is doing. Whether it's a wah effect, tremolo control, a filter sweep, or something less obvious, the PC3 will let you know what is happening, in musician's terms. This system allows us to maintain the flexibility of not having to silkscreen permanent labels on the front panel sliders, as is the case with the competition. Every sound can have its own set of controller assignments which can be viewed at the touch of a button. EffectsWith up to 12 insert effects plus two auxiliary sends, the PC3 offers more than twice the processing power of our acclaimed KDFX engine.
Effects can be chained together in series, or distributed among the 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 PC3's real time controllers - sliders, pedals, wheels, etc.

SequencerThe PC3 will feature a 16 track sequencer based on our K2 Series sequencer. Combining a set of powerful song editing functions like step editing, swing, and controller scaling with a new friendlier interface, the PC3 can easily double as a workstation, ideal for music production on the fly. Chasing controls and a global 'set song length' function are just a couple of the features we've added.

Dimensions (WxDxH): 47.75 x 13.98 x 4.33 in. Power Supply:Power Cord (Included). Sound: Very good samples for the limited ROM behind but somewhat. They are crystal but they lack originality and acoustic expression.
Not the best electric pianos and guitars out there. In general recent workstations have more updated sounds. On the other hand they are very reliable on live and studio and some programs are really inspiring. I prefer to play rather than tweak so I don't know if with a lot of tweaking one can beat the performances of the motifs or the fantoms of this world.
Feature: No sampling. No touchscreen or at least a bigger display. How can I use vast wiring with this display? The sound banks really suck. I can't locate a sound with this thing.
No wav export. My two year older fantom x has it. My k2600r had the song arrangement mode which really missing from this machine as it was very convenient. Ease of Use: If you wanna play only, it's the best. It's plug and play, It lights up in two seconds.
With the sliders you can very easily alter the sound and you can probably bring it to a level of your taste. But vast programming? Very time consuming.
Very difficult. I see those tutorials at mastering vast website and starting to tremble.The manual is ok but too basic, without step by step instructions. Quality: All kurzweIls are well built machines. It's my third one, the only problem i had so far with all of them is that once in a while they changed the sound out of the blue while playing.passionately without pressing any of the buttons.
Value: I bought it 1.900 Euros. Three months later kurzweil issues the LE version. The list price dropped to 1.200 below the LE's price. Something is terribly wrong. For me that means that kurzweil destroyed it's own product with that move and somehow confirmed all the aforementioned problems.
We are talking about a machine with extreme capabilities under it's hood but seems that nobody can drive it. So far I've tried to sell both k2600r and my sp76 (my original intention by buying pc3 was to replace this combination for giging). Sp76 was sold in seconds and they still call me after two years. Now thats value for money.
K2600r never made it. I will never sell pc3. Nobody will give over 1.000 euros for this machine. And I'm really sorry to say that. It is worth a lot more. Manufacturer Support: I live in Greece. I haven't any problem so far with any of the machines.
The problem is that the local representative here works only Monday to Friday 9.00-17.00. Now that's a problem. The Wow Factor: I love kurzweil. Their playability and inspiration is unparalleled. It's portable. I love it on stage. It is really strange but I love it with it's deficits.
It makes me feel a better musician when I play it. Yes, I know I surprise you but I wanted to send a message to those guys who built this machine in order to continue to give us good instruments. Look at it as a complaint by a loyal customer.
Overall: Till the release of the pc4. Of course korg Kronos managed to got my attention for the first time. Style of Music: Fusion. Sound: Most of the sounds in this board are incomparable. Just superb quality right out of the box. But, I'm a tweaker. And this board has more parameters that you can tweak than anything I have ever owned.
This is tweaker heaven. The saxes could be a little better and there should be more of them. Feature: Included a nice quality piano style foot pedal, USB cable, large comprehensive user manual Ease of Use: Great sound right out of the box. I have owned synthesizers for decades. This has more depth and complexity than anything I have previously owned. I have found that reading the manual is a necessity for this board. Quality: Had a minor issue with one of the keys on the first unit I received.
But, overall quality of materials and road worthiness of this product looks to be as good as it gets. Value: Compared to the hot new Yamaha, Roland or Korg keyboard of the moment(they are all great products), I feel that this is a better product at a better price.
Manufacturer Support: Contacted Kurzweil technical support with a few questions prior to purchase. Each and every question I asked was fully answered in the sequence I asked them, in an email to me, within 24 hours. Brief neuropsychological screening.
The Wow Factor: No flash here. Just a simple statement of elegance. Every slider, switch and connector(and there are a slew of them) are there to help the musician make music, period. This is the definitive players keyboard. When I attend a live concert or view one on TV and see the name Kurzweil on the stage, I know I will be highly impressed with the sound. Overall: As I previously stated, this is a players keyboard.
All the sounds on this board are set up to be used in a musical context. There aren't a slew of gimmicky, useless, sounds designed to get your attention in the music store, that you would never actually use in a real life playing situation. Need it now but short of cash?
