Loaded with awesome instrument sounds right out of the box
Among the 1453 factory presets onboard the Kurzweil PC3A8, you'll find classic modeled organs, strings, vintage electric pianos, clavinets, synths, drums, and, of course, acoustic pianos. The star of the show is the Artis German 9' D grand piano, whose rich and lush acoustic sound springs to life with every note you play. We're talking about the full power of Kurzweil's famous V.A.S.T. PC3 sound engine applied to providing you with the most realistic grand piano sound available, and it's all right there inside the Kurzweil PC3A8.
Fatar TP/40L keybed delivers the right touch for piano and more
Amazing sounds like the Artis German 9' D grand piano demand the perfect touch to play to the full extent of their expression. That's why Kurzweil equipped their PC3A8 digital stage piano with one of the finest keybeds ever made, the Fatar TP/40L. Much revered by the keyboard players here at Sweetwater, the TP/40L utilizes a revolutionary hammer and return-spring design to make each key depression feel right. This light-touch version of the TP/40 allows the PC3A8 to respond to a mere 75 grams of pressure, so even though it's exceptional for piano performance, you'll also enjoy playing other instrument sounds.
Customize your setup the way only Kurzweil keyboards let you
If you're ready to take a peek under the hood of the PC3A8 and start customizing your own patches, then you're in for a treat. Onboard you'll find the full capabilities of the PC3's cascading DSP engines and dynamic VAST architecture. With 16 independent zones, hundreds of effects, plus pattern-based riffs and arpeggiators galore, you're not going to run out of creative juice. And when it comes to physical controllers, you're welcome to assign parameters to 29 physical controllers, opening up a world of live performance options.
