Product code: PC-4 | ID: 315708
88-key performance controller/workstation from Kurzweil. Kurzweil Music Systems’ all new PC4 packs patented FlashPlay technology, 256-voice polyphony and powerful DSP into a highly-portable performance controller and production station designed to meet the needs of performing artists, studio musicians, song-writers and producers.
The PC4’s simple and intuitive user interface begins with a large color display with six soft keys and includes dedicated front-panel transposition and tempo controls, nine programmable knobs, sliders,and switches, instrument category selection, and dedicated arpeggiator and sequencer transport controls.The 88-note, hammer-action keybed is fully-weighted and velocity-sensitive offering the feel of an acoustic grand with the added benefit of keyboard aftertouch.
The PC4 excels as both a performance controller and production station with its 2 GB of factory sample content and another 2 GB of user-loadable space with up to 16 Zones in Multi Mode. Access a broad library of more than 1000 factory programs, versatile FX with full editing capabilities, a 16-track sequencer, 16 arpeggiators, 16 riff generators, versatile MIDI control with 16 MIDI CC step sequencers and full native V.A.S.T. editing capabilities. The PC4 also showcases a powerful six-operator FM Engine that imports 80's/90's FM SysEx files.
Along with its MIDI I/O, the PC4 has versatile analog I/O connections including a stereo audio input with FX. Add up to two switch pedals and two CC pedals. A second USB port accepts a USB thumb drive for external storage.
The pedal input allows you to connect an external pedal that expands the instrument's control capabilities and contributes to a richer musical expression, increasing flexibility and expressiveness when playing and creating music.
The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.
This instrument has 88 keys, equivalent to 7 1/4 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.
Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.
The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.
The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.
The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.
Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.
