I visited R&D the other day to check this thing out. Lightweight action, plastic enclosure and external power supply are the things that get you light weight. But so have Casio with boards like the PX-5S (20 something lbs) and Korg with their Krome (32 lbs I believe). There has been an overwhelming demand across the industry from players and dealers for lighter weight instruments. I've auditioned a sh*t-ton of actions and nothing in this price/weight range touches it in my opinion. I actually picked it out back when I worked for Kurz - we just didn't have a kick-ass instrument in which to use it. (Both the Artis and Forte SE suffered as a result.) The Medeli action does what a low-cost/low-weight action should do, and it feels amazing considering the weight and cost. Doesn't cut enough cost, doesn't cut enough weight, feels like poop and it makes a ton of mechanical noise. For 'low cost/low weight' the Fatar TP100 was an abject failure. And it's much better to have overlap than gaps. (Artis, PC3LE, etc) That stuff takes time. I hope/expect to see some of the clutter in their product lines start to go away shortly. Forte and SP6 have been home runs and I suspect the PC4 will be as well. Forte is the flagship, PC4 is the middle, SP6 is the low cost stage piano. With the PC4 they're returning to this structure. But I think I can help sort out some of the questions and confusion.īack in the day, the PC series (with PC88 and PC2) covered the mid-range keyboards while K series was the flagship. I no longer work for Kurz, and don't speak for them. Now that would give people everything they love from 2 worlds. With full controll from the Forte2 which also would function as an audio interface. If kurzweil created a VST host like Akai’s VIP If you want to innovate smart, build a new instrument based on what people knowįor example integrating software and hardware? I fully innovative new product might chase away most of the customers. Sadly sales figures are not a direct reflection of a products quallityīut since most people prefer to buy what they allready know. If they figure why Yamaha products of equall quallity sell so much better If Kurzweil wants to sell more, the answer is Yamaha. Wouldn't´t it better to do something new? Something innovative? I constantly see all kinds of versions of the basically same synth.

know they are used there.but are these unseen Kurzweils going to help Kurzweil to sell a lot of units?
