Yes! Great demo. Finally someone actually covers the Organ sounds. I've been skeptical since discovering Kurzweil doesn't seem to have organ audio samples on their site. I'm definitely on board now. Thanks.

Hi steveblum, Now I get what you mean. If you get a chance to try a PC3, go to "Blues Harmonica" then press EDIT and then EFFECT. Now, when you hit the PLAY button you'll hear me jam without the KDFX effects. It really is dramatically different.

I use a PC1X. as my main controller. I agree on the sounds being dated, but that's exactly why I like it. No trendy crap with built in beats. Just solid classic sounds all very usable for me. Superb orchestral sound and EPs. Killer drum kits Nice guitars and bass. The pianos are a bit compressed. This was done to keep the cost down, A little EQ and they're fine. Don't know if it's worth the extra 2k to upgrade.

Hi steveblum, I guess I've fooled you into thinking that I faked it :-) I created that patch for Kurzweil's PC3 factory presets along with 'Fisher's VAST B-3" and a few others in there. The best way to prove it is to play the Demo sequence for that program, called Blues Harmonica". (I created the demo seq. for Kurzweil also.) If you play them side-by-side you'll see that they're similar but different enough to see that I am playing it live. Write me and I'll play a song of your choice :-)

I agree with you...Kurzweil has amazing sounds, especially for orchestral and synth stuff. However, I just wished it had at least an audio input (even if not a full-blown sampler). K2661 is great workstation, but it doesn't have VA synthesis...

I don't how about with this one but usually, all 88 key instruments are weighted keys, anything below that is non-weighted keys. One small detail that makes all the difference in how the keyboard sounds in the end. Just a note.

truly. I have the k2661 never found the interface workable particularly since one has to go into the layers to program instead of tweaking knobs. This has more power and kdfx potential but I'm staying with the k2 for the sampling option and the adat out. But the pc3 has a software editor.. now if only they would make one for the k2 series I'd be grateful.

"is there a quick way to layer a piano, pad, and voice, and have individual volume control at the sliders? FAST...without getting into all those editing thingies?" Hi cvl85, You can *one time* make a Setup with three Zones, each having a Slider dedicated to Volume (CC#7). Then Save it. Now you can simply dial in different Programs into each Zone and you'll still have all the functions that you made the very first time. You could be spontaneous all night using the same Setup and never Save.

I'm a performer, not a programmer, and the complexity of the PC3 scares me. But I'd consider it if the piano sounds are dramatically superior to those of the SP2. Are they? Are they noticeably better than the PC2? (I've had 3 SP76s and PC2 but never an SP2. Can you split internal sounds with an SP2? And for us jazz people, can you layer a ride cymbal to walking bass with an SP2?)

I am not accusing you of faking the demo - it is obvious you are playing it. But if you want to demo the difference in sound when you activate the effect, you should play the same thing before and after you activate it. I am saying you are making the effect sound more appealing by playing something way cooler after you activate it.

I have PC2X, and the 3X has a lot more variation and stuff, but it seems better for studio use where as the 2X is great for live preformance. Kurzweil sounds are great, and the orchestra section is killer; however, the horns need to be upgraded..I think they sound crappy especially the reeds. I heard a soprano sax sound on a cheap $500 Yamaha keyboard at Best Buys that blew away the one on the Kurz.

Kurzweil makes some nice gear.. but I agree that Kurz's sounds are starting to become a bit dated. VAST opens up a lot of doors for patch creation though. Still.., Kurz needs to update some sound sections. What I don't get is why in 2009 is Kurz still using that age old type display? Come on Kurz., for the price you sell your gear at you can at least give a better screen. There's a new 61 key version of this that sells for 2 grand at Sweetwater.

@TheReasonableLogic I doubt that Kurzweil instruments will ever feature a good interface. They have a small design team without the resources to develop a powerful user interface. Another decade has gone by and the company still is releasing instruments that make it feel like one is editing on an old 1980's DOS computer.
