Kurzweil KFORTE-7 Forte 7 76-Key Fully-Weighted Digital Piano

Continuing the innovations introduced with the original Forte digital piano, Kurzweil introduces the Forte 7 for a more portable, 76-key digital piano. This digital piano comes packed with a total of 16 GB of sounds that are ready to go straight out of the box, including hand-selected German and vintage Japanese concert grand pianos, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clav, Harpsichord, Orchestral Percussion, Celeste, Glockenspiel, Chimes, Bells and Crotales, along with sounds from the acclaimed PC3 and KORE 64 expansions. The sound engine on the Forte 7 is powered by patented Flash-Play® technology, which offers powerful DSP capabilities and ultrafast performance.

This piano features an extensive and intuitive control section that makes accessing sounds and making changes simple. It's equipped with a fully-weighted Italian hammer-action keybed with aftertouch for a lifelike playing experience, and the pitch/modulation wheels along with dedicated +/- transpose, tap tempo, and sound variation controls are located right on the front panel. Along with those controls, the Forte 7 includes nine (9) sliders with LED indicators, six (6) switches, three (3) switch pedal inputs with support for half-damper, and two (2) continuous control pedal inputs. Additionally, there is a 4.3" 480x272 widescreen color LCD display that shows pertinent information about patch selections and can be used to navigate and edit settings on-the-fly. Plus, if you've found a sound that you really like and want to use without having to navigate through menus to find it, the Forte 7 has 10 onboard favorite buttons to allow for one-button access to your favorite patches.
