PC88 88 NOTE WEIGHTED ACTION KEYBOARDS

The PC88 has it all: the benefits of a 32-note polyphonic portable digital piano, expandable to 64 voices with an option board; quality sounds you won't find anywhere else; plus an extremely versatile MIDI master keyboard with fully-weighted 88-key piano action. Check out the PC88's Performance section. Its 64 presets include Kurzweil's new, critically-acclaimed Grand Piano samples and other classic keyboard sounds - Fender Rhodes(TM) electric pianos, new Clavinet(TM) and harpsichord, rock and jazz organ, bass, acoustic guitar, vibes and marimba. And, of course, there's the renowned Kurzweil Orchestral String Ensemble. 64 superlative sounds a working musician really can't do without.

Its MIDI Controller section is designed for fast, intuitive access, with full MIDIfunctionality. The PC88 can transmit on four MIDI channels simultaneously, is 16-part multi-timbral, and offers four completely independent zones which can overlap. Each zone has access to all controllers: pitch and mod wheels, four continuous pedal controllers, two footswitches, four front-panel sliders, three switches (momentary or toggle) and keyboard mono pressure. The controllers can generate both positive and negative values for easy crossfading. There's also an arpeggiator which can be synced to MIDI and can operate across any or all four zones, plus specified key ranges. In addition to 64 superb-sounding built-in factory presets, you can save 100 or more of your own fully-customized performance setups with any combination of voice and controller settings - single, split and layered programs and/or MIDI configurations. And you can layer or split any internal sound with other internal voices - and/or external MIDI instruments - up to four zones.

The PC88 features a comprehensive on-board digital stereo effects processor, enabling you to program reverb, chorus and other effects, for a total of 48 different effect combinations. The PC88 weighs a mere 50 pounds, making it one of the lightest 88-key weighted keyboards you can own. A large backlit 40-character LCD display tells you exactly what's going on. The unit has stereo outputs and MIDI In, Out and Thru (switchable to a copy of MIDIOut). -
