(although less so for me on the Forte as the KB3 comes free - which is fantastic). Whilst it may be less applicable now, it still can happen. And the voice stealing on Kurzweils is much more intelligently implemented.

Patch overlapping was a big plus as well - the big boys may do it now, but for a long time they didn't. Also, the effects on programs don't swamp the sound - which means that I don't need to spend time turning them off/down (like I do on the competitors). And the multisamples for pianos and EPs just seem to play naturally for me. )Īlso, the adage "it's the sound" may be a cliche but it's true - Kurzweils don't have the slight 'metallic' sound you get in things like the Kronos (which is almost a perfect board), they sound softer and clearer. I adore the 6octave weighted keys I have now and would never go back to the semi-weighted (Note: if you guys build a new workstation, then why not make the keybed interchangable for a semi / weighted and make it a distributer-based optional upgrade.

I can put together quite complex patches quite quickly and am currently loving the step sequencer in the Forte - arguably less powerful than the full sequencer of old, but much more useful to me. I'm still discovering things in VAST but I know where most of it is and can move about it fairly quickly. I've also had _LOTS_ of other gear over the years but since moving to the PC3, I've mainly used a Kurz as my main board - often just the Kurz. Then, 2xPC3, PC2R, PC3K6,7 and 8, and, finally, a Forte7 (looks a little funny but is a brilliantly practical size). I ended up owning 2xK2000, K2000R, RG150 (for a bit of piano love), 2xK2500R, K2661 and then finally persuaded the UK distributer to let me at the PC3 when it was released. By v3 it was solid and simply sounded better than the other synths. Longer version : When the K2000 came out, I was a bit underwhelmed as it seemed a bit of a hobby synth to keep adding options and the OS pre-v3 was a bit weird. Every time in such situation I have to either remember/write down the program id or add it to the quick-access list.īut in general I really enjoy my Kurz keys. At some point, programs stop to be sorted by category and finding some sounds take lots of time since I have to scroll over the list of programs again and again. Not having complete categorized program matrix is really uncomfortable.

Hopefully, this can be mitigated via program editing and sampling. It's not bad (if you have KORE 64), but I really miss having out-of-the-box more ethnic sounds, more soft/ambient pads (overall pads selection seems to be on average level), "special effects" like thunder, rain, etc. Seeing such huge number of factory programs, I expected excellent variety of sounds.I've heard/read many times that Kurzweil has a great community support - like these forums!Īlthough you haven't asked I'll share with you also what was, on the other hand, disappointed me after I already bought this instrument and spent some time with it:.I've heard/read many times that Kurzweil sounds sit well in the mix.good selection of classic instruments like Hammonds, Mellotrons.

I really have no need for an onboard sequencer and use a computer DAW for my compositions and since I already own a Juno DS61 for kicking around I'd probably go for the DS88 if I had to replace my Kurzweil in a hurry.Īlso neither here nor there, but most of my gear budget these days goes on modules and analogue and virtual analogue keys and drum boxes these days anyway. Between the sky high price of the Forte and the weight of these monsters and the totally useless Soundtower Editor there are better choices I could make from Roland or someone else these days. However, if I were in the market for an 88 key workstation today I doubt I would buy another Kurzweil. Long story short, mine has performed flawlessly for the past 4 years and I haven't regretted it since. I was also very impressed by the online reviews as well as the recommendations of some people on the keyboard forums. I was originally looking at a PC3LE8 but the difference with all the discounts was only $700 more so I bit the bullet and went for the K model instead.

The CDN Dollar was high at the time and the dealer gave me a substantial discount on a floor model. I bought a PC3K8 4 years ago for a terrific discount.
