Kurzweil Introduces the PC3LE Keyboard
Waltham, MA - Kurzweil Music Systems will be introducing the PC3LE keyboard at the upcoming 2009 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA.
With 64 voices of polyphony and a sleek easy-to-navigate front panel, the PC3LE combines many of the PC3's best sounds and features with our friendliest user interface to date along with a new, streamlined sound category system. The PC3LE has been designed with ease of use and on-the-fly music production foremost in mind, with 16 independent arpeggiators and up to 16 simultaneous riffs, all of which can be triggered and manipulated by keystrokes or a host of real-time controllers. For real-time controllers, the PC3LE offers 8 backlit impact and continuous force-sensitive drum pads, two wheels, 5 assignable knobs and 6 assignable switches in addition to 4 switch pedals and one CC pedal.
"With over 800 presets, the PC3's synth architecture and sample set, KB3 organ emulation, extensive MIDI controller capabilities and world class effects, the PC3LE offers unprecedented value. It's going to change the game entirely for keyboards in its price range...", says Kurzweil national sales manager Jeff Dunmire.
The PC3LE provides USB Master capabilities, thumb-drive storage and seamlessly integrates into any studio or live stage setup. Three choices for keyboard action will be offered - 88-note hammer weighted, 76-note semi-weighted and 61-note semi-weighted.
The PC3LE will be available this summer.
Kurzweil Music Systems was founded in 1982 by Ray Kurzweil, who was inspired by Stevie Wonder after having collaborated on a reading machine for the blind. In 1983 the Kurzweil K250 was considered the first successful attempt to realistically emulate the sound of a grand piano. Since then, Kurzweil has been renowned for being a major innovator in the music tech industry and continues today stronger than ever under the proven leadership of Hyundai Development Co.
