- 88 keys with touch dynamic (Hammer)
- 128-voice polyphony
- Multi-channel 16 stamps
- 832 preset programs including PC2 Sound ROM
- Set sounds GM
- 128 User programs
- 2 Sound ROM Expansion Slots (64MB and 128MB!)
- Effects
- EQ Global EQ / Compressor Global
- Integrated Arpeggiator
- Wheel pitchbend and modulation
- 9 faders
- 4 analog outputs (the two may be independent for the next OS)
- Headphone Jack
- Digital output S / PDIF 24-bit
- 48/96 kHz possible modes (sampling frequency)
- MIDI In / Out / Thru
- USB port for MIDI connection and data storage
- LCD display with backlight 240 x 64 characters
- Management Program via USB (Mac and PC) available in July
- Integrated Power Supply Switchable 120/240V AC
- Dimensions (WxDxH): 1370 x 3556 x 1046 mm
- Weight: 24.5 kg
I put 9, the screen is a bit limited, even if it's enough. The future management program will greatly improve that. The 4 outputs (L / R hand and L / R in) are a definite asset, we can route an example of a particular sound effect pedal without affecting the main mix, and then replicate the Main Out for monitoring.
UTILIZATION
For a regular Kurzweil K series, no problem is the same. Otherwise it's harder to get into it and it requires a lot of effort, but it's worth it!
The manual is not yet finalized, it's a bit annoying, but it will be available soon
SOUNDS
To be brief, all sounds are excellent, especially the EP, the Clavinet, pianos, synth sounds (thanks to VA-1, a software synthesizer that emulates analog). Only organs are lagging behind, they do not ring up to the other brands at the moment, but the R & D is changing this for the next update.
The expression of the keyboard is very good, it's light enough for a heavy
but I think it's an ideal compromise in relation to the sounds of this synth.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 months
I love his ultra clean look, it does not look like a cheap toy with buttons (korg)
I had one before Pc2x, and K2600
The price is more than adequate for the Kurz is a synth sound and do not go out of style any time soon, plus it changes very quickly.
I take back another next month to use it with my group
