Kurzweil SP5-8

Stage piano from SP5 series with a great-feeling 88-note graded hammer-weighted action keyboard and over 800 of Kurzweil's best preset sounds that offers the high-end sound palette of a professional workstation combined with the easy workflow and simplicity of a stage piano. It includes a varied assortment of piano presets – from concert grands with shimmering reverb (halls, rooms, chambers), perfectly compressed and EQ'd studio pianos, to classic barrel-house and tack uprights as well as richly layered combinations with strings and pads. Also included are dozens of detailed vintage instrument emulations; electric pianos (some of which use 30+ velocity-switched layers), Clavinets, Mellotrons and electric grands, in addition to a broad selection of KB3 organs and KVA virtual analogue synths. Rounding out the piano’s sound set are the renowned Kurzweil string sections, plus orchestral, brass, winds, mallets, percussion, drums, guitar and bass presets. The high quality feel of the piano’s action is matched only by its versatility; the LK40GH action allows players to experience exceptional realism while playing piano presets but also provides the speed and ease required for electric piano, organ, Clavinet and synth parts. Several choices are available for velocity maps, from Very Hard to Very Light, to accommodate all playing styles. The user interface has been custom tailored to suit the needs of players in a variety of real world settings. With 5 sliders plus a 3-tiered Shift button, user will have an easy access to 15 real-time synth and/or effects parameters. Intuitive Entry allows for quick customization of the sounds, whether assigning an effect to a slider or setting the key ranges for a Split/Layer zone. For lightning-fast, gig-ready sound selection, the piano's 20 User Favorite slots (1 per sound category for both programs and setups) provide one-touch access to the sounds you use most frequently. With world-class effects and professional-grade balanced TRS outputs, the instrument puts out a powerful, pristine signal that is perfect for professional recordings or live amplification without the need for additional processing. It offers full MIDI functionality over USB as well as the ability to quickly save/load user sounds and OS updates with seamless computer integration. And 16-part multi-timbral capability allows it to serve as a powerful composition tool, with hundreds of sounds, keeping the inspiration flowing, whether it is a quick sketch or a full-blown production.
