Kurzweil Pc3k7?

Postby e8ndave » 16 Mar 2014, 18:49

Hi all,

Looking at a Kurzweil Pc3k7 to go with my NS2 and MOX6. Wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them or Kurzweil in general. All the video stuff I've seen makes it look like a great piece of equipment but we don't have any dealers within several hundred miles to try them out on.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I had a Kurzweil PC3 (identical to the PC3k7 minus the sampling capability) I sold it for the NS2, mainly because the acoustic pianos and especially the harpsichords were not up to scratch on the PC...but it does have lots of good points, and if you can get your head around the VAST engine, it is very powerful for a very good price.

the free soundtower editor that you can download for it is very buggy and not of much use as an editor, HOWEVER, if you do examine the editor, it shows the structure of the VAST engine much better than the manual does, and allows you to work on the PC itself quickly and easily.
