Prague Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 How often do people break keys? I've known of one on a Hammond (a mixer fell on it) and on a Roland (it was poorly packed for shipping). Parts are available in the US. Elsewhere, I don't know. http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITGITC Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Originally posted by keyoctave: Originally posted by Is There Gas in the Car?: the ACRYLIC MUSIC RACK. This is not an option for the PC1X, I believe. That is just what I used to think. For the heck of it, I downloaded the PC1X manual from the Kurz site. Just a few pages into it, it shows how to attach the Acrylic music rack. Exactly the same as the pc2. It does not fit on the new PC161 which is a 61 note version of the PC1X. I can't win. The acrylic music rack is very nice though. Otherwise, I'd have to use my music stand which takes up too much space. But the polyphony option is great since you're using 2 notes of polyphony whenever you choose to play a stereo program - like the triple strike stereo grand piano, and their new lush stereo strings. And did I mention that the PC2X weighs only 23 pounds?

jook Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 And did I mention that the PC2X weighs only 23 pounds?Huh? According to the official website, the PC2 (76 keys) weighs 39 pounds (17.7 kg) and the PC2X (88 keys) weighs 55 pounds (23.6 kg). Was that a mistake in metrics? I mean, if it actually weighed 23 pounds, I would love to get one over an Electro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jook Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 ... And i just found that there was a second page to this thread. D'oh! But I'm not joking when I said i'd love a weighted 61-key version of the PC1/PC2 (kinda like the PC161 they have listed on the european website but not on the US website... and which there seems to be no sight of anywhere else).

part1sts Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 I played an s90es yesterday and liked it a lot, but it still did not distract me from wanting the pc2x. I do not understand it, but the Kurz has this power over me. Anyways, let's go on with our lives. Together we stand, Divided we fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGITC Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Originally posted by part1sts: I do not understand it, but the Kurz has this power over me. I understand it, part1sts. The reason that Kurz products are enticing is that the company was born by the genius of 1 guy - Ray Kurzweil. His dreams came to fruition from the great work of a handfull of brilliant sound-designers and circuit designers. Their keyboards started out pioneering the sampling technology that made a digital piano sound really good for the first time. Their VAST editing system is second to none. Their digital filters sound excellent - some of the best on the market. And their non-obsolecence in sound design is unique to Kurzweil. Understanding the workings of my K2000 lets me easily move up to the K2500 and the K2600, etc. Sure, it's a steep learning curve, but the sounds that can be built using VAST are powerfull and unique. I have never had a mechanical problem with my PC2X. My K2000 has had minimal problems; the main one stemming from the design of a lack of protection circuitry for transistors that mute the outputs when the unit is turned on/off. The transistors can fail if one connects to the Kurz, and then connects to the mixer (without the protection circuitry that was later added). My 1000PX still works, although the backlight is burned out. I really like the Kurzweil sounds and I've never, EVER, been disappointed with the purchase of these three units. Purchase the PC2X and don't look back.

The PC is a a new series and the PC-2 was the first one, right? Has anyone experienced any software bugs? I have not. Everything works as described (and more). I did, however, start with the latest version that incorporates both expansion cards and I do not have the Polyphony expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better get back on topic or noobies will think this forum is all about old guys lusting after young girls. Of course, I could add a link to a thread that asked "Why did you become a musician in the first place?" That would put this thread right back on topic in a hurry.
