You want the brilliant Kurzweil sounds that musicians everywhere aspire to own; and you need a great-feeling

master keyboard to drive your MIDI sound modules. Now you can have both, in one superblyintegrated instrument: the PC88 Performance Controller. 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.

Kurzweil Quality Sound

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 electric pianos, new Clavinet 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.

MIDI to The Max

Our MIDI Controller section is designed for fast, intuitive access, with full MIDI functionality. 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 synched to MIDI and can operate across any or all four zones, plus specified key ranges.

Customized Setups & Effects

In addition to 64 superb-sounding built-in factory presets, you can save 128 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 onboard 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 52 pounds, making it one of the lightest 88key 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 MIDI Out).

Painless Expansion
You can easily upgrade the PC88 with an optional expansion card, offering over 200 more presets, as well as full General MIDI compatibility. The expansion card also offers additional 32-note polyphony, giving you a full 64-voice instrument with over 265 sounds. There's a second independent stereo effects processor for the expansion section, so you can split or layer expansion sounds and presets, with independent effects on each. Never before has a pro keyboard delivered so much in a single package: a great performance instrument and comprehensive master MIDI controller. The PC88 delivers what every keyboard player wants: great sounds, 88-key weighted piano action, full MIDI controller capability, onboard effects, optional expansion board with hundreds of sounds and General MIDI, plus portability.
