In addition to our renowned Triple Strike Grand Piano the PC3X features hundreds of new sounds; basses drums guitars and synths suited for every style and taste along with a collection of flawless vintage keyboard emulations KB3 Mode and over 250 orchestral and string section programs. The PC3Xs new Dynamic V.A.S.T. architecture is a huge step forward in synthesis the fruit of several major strides weve made in improving processing power flexibility and user-friendliness. Good news for synth enthusiasts – weve seamlessly integrated our legendary VA-1 Virtual Analog Synthesizer into the new system! For good measure we include an unlimited-track sequencer with 960 PPQ resolution and more effects processing power than our acclaimed KSP8 processor making the PC3X a full blown music production workstation. Add in USB flash xD card port a newly designed keyboard action and a new intuitive user interface and youve got the next generation of Kurzweil instruments. Its a performance controller. Its a synthesizer. Its a workstation. The Kurzweil Sound… The PC3X offers an enormous sound set of over 850 programs raising the bar once again for both audio quality and variety. With the best samples in the industry and a powerful responsive synth engine breathing life into them youll feel like youre playing an actual instrument not just playing samples. Of course theres the famous Kurzweil Triple Strike Piano with dozens of variations to accommodate every kind of player. All of the basic sounds – basses guitars drums horns and synths – have been painstakingly programmed to reflect the needs of todays professional players representing a broad selection of styles and flavors from the 60s 70s 80s 90s and today. Also included is our Classic Keys ROM which puts an impossibly large vintage keyboard rig at your fingertips. These are vintage emulations which actually sound like vintage instruments and classic recordings. The recognizable sounds of those classic electromechanical instruments with all of their characteristic imperfections have been faithfully re-created along with pedals amps and speakers. Lush Mellotrons growling electric pianos and punchy Clavinets are all there at the touch of a button programmed to sound just like those classic albums. For more vintage firepower the PC3X is equipped with the most advanced version of Kurzweils widely lauded KB3 Mode tonewheel organ simulator which screams sputters and sizzles just like the original. In addition to newly developed Leslie effects and a new bank of B3 programs weve also included sounds from the classic Vox and Farfisa combo organs. The PC3Xs 9 sliders provide real-time drawbar control. The PC3X offers a full range of world class orchestral sounds including our new String Section ROM bank making it ideal for film-scoring and soundtrack projects. Every type of articulation every nuance has been captured with samples of full and divisi sections of violins violas cellos and double bass. The details the warm swells animated pizzicatos and the sound of scraping rosin all add to the breathtaking effect of these string sections. You can plug and play with sounds worthy of a finished production – instant gratification with uncompromising sound quality. Dynamic V.A.S.T… Under the hood of the PC3X is simply the most powerful synthesis engine ever created by Kurzweil. Dynamic V.A.S.T. picks up where the K series left off. Having up to 32 layers per program means that emulations of real instruments can be extremely detailed and accurate while the synthesized sounds can be extraordinarily large and complex. Expanding upon our V.A.S.T. architecture the PC3Xs new architecture delivers more power and flexibility combined with unprecedented ease of use. Users can now create and store their own DSP algorithms with nearly limitless possibilities for routing. In another huge development weve resurrected the VA-1 Virtual Analog Synthesizer having built its synthesis engine right into the new system. Hear the VA-1s power-shaped anti-aliasing oscillators (including supersaw triplesaw and hard sync oscillators) combined with a newer larger set of V.A.S.T. filters (like the classic-style 4pole low pass w/ resonance) and non-linear processors and youll understand why the internet is buzzing about this feature. Cascade Mode… Every layer in a program can be routed through the DSP of any other layer in series or blended together with up to 32 layers. Its the same concept as Triple Mode on our K26 series without the 3 layer limit. You can run your sound through literally dozens of filters (which can all move independently in real-time) in addition to Kurzweils signature DSP processors like Shaper Wrap and Distortion allowing for some truly dazzling results. This is one more feature which makes the PC3Xs synth engine so powerful and so different than anything else on the market. Effects… With up to 16 insert effects two available auxiliary sends PLUS a global Master FX section the PC3X offers more than twice the processing power of our acclaimed KDFX engine. Effects can be chained together in series or distributed among the PC3Xs 16 multitimbral channels. And these are simply the best effects in the business – burning distortions transparent compressors warm phaser and chorus effects perfect reverbs – everything from flawless vintage emulations to concert halls which decay into complete silence. All parameters are assignable to any of the PC3Xs real time controllers – sliders pedals wheels etc. Sequencer… The PC3X features a newly designed sequencer with unlimited tracks and 960 PPQ resolution. Combining a set of powerful song editing functions like event editing swing and controller scaling with a new friendlier interface the PC3X truly excels as a song writing/arranging workstation ideal for music production on the fly. Chasing controls input quantizing and a global “set song length” function are just a couple of the features weve incorporated.
