Kurzweil PC3LE 76 Note Keyboard


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 the 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 PC3 LE 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 PC3LE7 provides USB Master capabilities, thumb-drive storage and seamlessly integrates into any studio or live stage setup all with a 76-note semi-weighted keyboard.

Other choices in the PC3LE range are
  • 88-note hammer weighted
  • 61-note semi-weighted.
