The 88-note PC3X delivers 128 voices along with a host of powerful, easy-to-use features. In addition to Kurzweil's Triple Strike Grand Piano, the PC3X features hundreds of new sounds; basses, drums, guitars, and synths suited for every style and taste, along with a collection of flawless vintage keyboard emulations, KB3 Mode and over 250 orchestral and string section programs.
An unlimited-track sequencer with 1536 PPQ resolution and more effects processing power than Kurzweil's KSP8 processor have been added to the PC3X. USB, flash xD card port, newly designed keyboard action, and a new user interface round out the great features that helped shape the PC3X and make it a singular performance controller.
The PC3X offers a sound set of over 800 programs. All of the basic sounds - basses, guitars, drums, horns and synths - have been programmed to reflect the needs of today's professional players, representing a broad selection of styles and flavors from the '60s on up to today.
Also included is Classic Keys ROM, which puts a large vintage keyboard rig at your fingertips. These are vintage emulations which actually sound like vintage instruments and classic recordings. The recognizable sounds of those classic electromechanical instruments, with all of their characteristic imperfections, have been re-created, along with pedals, amps and speakers. Lush Mellotrons, growling electric pianos, and punchy Clavinets are all there at the touch of a button.
The PC3X is equipped with the most advanced version of Kurzweil's KB3 Mode tonewheel organ simulator. In addition to newly developed Leslie effects, and a new bank of B3 programs, sounds from the classic Vox and Farfisa combo organs have also been included. The PC3X's 9 sliders provide real-time drawbar control.
The PC3X offers a full range of orchestral sounds, including the new String Section ROM bank, making it ideal for film-scoring and soundtrack projects. Every type of articulation, every nuance has been captured, with samples of full and divisi sections of violins, violas, cellos, and double bass. The details, warm swells, animated pizzicatos and the sound of scraping rosin all add to the effect of these string sections.
Dynamic V.A.S.T. picks up where the K series left off. Having up to 32 layers per program means that emulations of real instruments can be extremely detailed and accurate, while the synthesized sounds can be extraordinarily large and complex. Users can now create and store their own DSP algorithms, with nearly limitless possibilities for routing.
Kruzweil has also built the VA-1's (Virutal Analog Synthesizer) synthesis engine into the PC3X.
Every layer in a program can be routed through the DSP of any other layer, in series or blended together, with up to 32 layers. You can run your sound through literally dozens of filters (which can all move independently in real-time) in addition to Kurzweil's signature DSP processors like Shaper, Wrap and Distortion.
The Easy Audition feature takes every one of the PC3X's presets and links them to a bank of "riffs", recorded sequences which demonstrate each sound in an appropriate context. Also available will be a software-based PC3 Desktop Editor (for both Mac & PC) with comprehensive, easy-to-use features.
With up to 16 insert effects plus two available auxiliary sends, the PC3X offers more than twice the processing power of Kurzweil's acclaimed KDFX engine. Effects can be chained together in series, or distributed among the PC3X's 16 multitimbral channels. All parameters are assignable to any of the PC3X's real time controllers - sliders, pedals, wheels, etc.
The PC3X will feature a newly designed sequencer, with unlimited tracks and 1536 PPQ resolution. Combining a set of powerful song editing functions like step editing, swing, and controller scaling with a new friendlier interface, the PC3X truly excels as a song writing/arranging workstation, and is ideal for music production on the fly. Chasing controls and a global "set song length" function are just a couple of the features that have been incorporated.
The PC3X sports sixteen independent arpeggiators as well as a collection of pre-recorded beats and musical phrases.
