I think the horns and organs leave a lot to be desired.
#Kurzweil pc2x case manual#
The manual is big and complete, although not always easy for this technophobe to understand. However, if you are a classically trained Steinway fan, you might not appreciate the lighter action as much as I do. I can outrun any Yamaha or Roland, so I hope Kurzweil never lets go of this action. If I am doing session work and the producer or engineer wants a piano sound that the PC1X is not capable of, I still use its keyboard to play their sample of choice. To me, it is the single most inspiring aspect of the instrument. I can play just about as fast as anyone, but the Kurzweil's keyboard keeps up with me no matter what I throw at it, yet it is extremely dynamic. I'm 52 and have been playing all my life. I could have bought either,but opted for the PC1X because I flat-out loved the performance of the keyboard. It is lighter than a Yamaha, Korg or Roland, and even significantly lighter than it's more developed sister, the PC2x. One of the songs I perform with one of my artist gigs requires 10 program changes within the same song and the Kurzweil gets it done effortlessly. The PC1X is also very easy to do splits on, as well as layering up to 4 sounds. You can set up your favorite programs from the 6 available preset banks and 2 user banks so that you can access them on-the-fly from their assigned buttons.
#Kurzweil pc2x case Patch#
My personal favorite is the 'Intense Strings' patch which is rich and full, with plenty of attack, yet offering excellent dynamics. Rhodes and Wurly sounds are decent-not the best but decent. But, I can always find one that matches the room I am playing in well. Like all stereo acoustic piano samples, they won't satisfy unless they are played in stereo. I wouldn't rate them as the best out there, but they do a fine job of cutting through a less-than-perfect stage mix and crowd noise. 4 rotary controls which perform a variety of functions-octave shift, reverb density, 3 band EQ control, and 2 assignable switches which will do just about anything you need them to do.Īcoustic piano sounds are my first priority and the ones on the PC1X don't disappoint. Nice, diverse bank of effects which are easily edited or disabled when necessary.
