When you think the Rolling Stones are spring chickens.

I had a PC4 when I got my first PC4-7. There was an OS update for the PC4. I contacted Fran at Kurzweil and was told it can be used in both. Only the K2700 and PC4 are listed under pro keyboard/workstations/synths: https://kurzweil.com/workstation_synthesizers/ and it's been that way for a while. Hard to say where they'll go from here.

Maybe Behringer bought them. New K series - coming in 2034.

TEO-5: I want one.

The pads on my original Keylab send poly AT, but not the keys. I would have liked to see them add more CV outs, rather than ditch them completely.

Never had the PF, but when I got plg150-AN and DX boards, I didn't have to load anything into them. Just put them in, hook up the connector and go.

Don't miss - Dave Weiner and the Odd-Ball Models. Now playing at a venue near you.

I thought they had it nailed. K - heavy metal casing with a heavier duty keyboard. PC - light weight for moving around more. I think it would make more sense to have a PC461 instead of the upcoming K2061.

My point was - what differentiates between the two of them?

Kind of a conundrum for Kurzweil. If they come out with a 76 keyboard that has an audio interface would they call it a PC or a K? How about if it has a metal case, or a Fatar keybed? Would pads make it a K, or would it be an added feature to a PC. Same could be said for a built in ribbon. All of this would also apply to 61 keys too. Seems like they're getting things all jumbled up. Maybe time will tell.

If they do make something like that, it will probably be equally unaffordable. Despite the 5 voices and 44 keys, I like what I'm seeing and hearing of the TEO-5.

I'm so glad I got my PC4-7's when I did. I wasn't expecting this at all. They're pretty much almost perfect for what I was looking for. I'm going to have to keep my eyes closed to what's coming down the pike though. 🤣 Maybe they'll complete the K line - 88/76/61. Can't help but wonder what's going to happen to the PC line though. I thought it was doing well, but maybe plastic, light weight, external power supply, lower cost, and the keybed weren't what people wanted?

Should be soon. When the PC4 was announced, if I remember right, it took about a 5 or 6 months before the price was set. I got mine soon after, but hounded them mercilessly to get it. 🤣

I just tried to order it, and yes, it said 'Loyalty Discount Applied' or something. But the site must be too busy, I couldn't complete the order. I'll try again later. I was a bit torn on this one, because I've got so much of their stuff already. I can hear a lot of similarities, but there's also some differences. I can hear it, but can't put my finger on exactly what's causing it. It's got the gorgeous, lush sounds I've come to expect from them, but with enough of a twist that I'll get this one too. Part loyalty, I guess. These are people I feel good about supporting, even if it's just in a small way. Edit: Order went through - off to play.😍

Probably been done already, but I'm thinking - AI analysis of most popular chord progressions used in hit songs, AI analysis of most popular melodic intervals for vocals and leads used in hit songs, AI analysis of rhythms used in hit songs, etc., etc. Remember - you read it here first. 🤣
