Kurzweil PC88 PC-88-note Controller Keyboard / Piano

Kurzweil PC88 PC-88-note Controller Keyboard / Piano

You are looking at my trusty Kurzweil PC-88 Performance Controller Keyboard / Piano.  This keyboard is a superb and now very rare piece of kit,  of which this is a very good example being in excellent condition with only a few minor blemishes to the casing (as one would expect).

Please note that the flightcase shown in the photos forms part of the Postage cost.  It is, in effect,  "the packaging" if you choose to have the unit delivered to you.

Not only does is it serve as a great stand-alone performance instrument with great sounds, and superb pianos in particular,  it is also a great-feeling master keyboard with superb MIDI funcations for connectivity for other instruments and applications.

It comprises a 32-note polyphonic portable digital piano with many additional sound options with a fully-weighted 88-key piano action keyboard.

Its presets include Kurzweil’s critically-acclaimed Grand Piano samples and other classic keyboard sounds such as; Fender Rhodes electric pianos, clavinet and harpsichord, rock and jazz organs, bass, acoustic guitar, vibes and marimba. And, of course, there's the renowned Kurzweil Orchestral String Ensemble !!

MIDI Controller

The MIDI Controller section is designed for fast, intuitive access, with full MIDI functionality. The PC88 can transmit on four MIDI channels

simultaneously, is 16-part multi-timbral, and offers four completely independent zones which can overlap. Each zone has access to all

controllers: pitch and mod wheels, four continuous pedal controllers, two footswitches, four front-panel sliders, three switches (momentary or toggle) and keyboard mono pressure. The controllers can generate both positive and negative values for easy crossfading. There's also an arpeggiator which can be synched to MIDI and can operate across any or all four zones, plus specified key ranges.

Patches

In addition to 64 superb-sounding built-in factory presets, you can save 128 of your own fully-customized performance setups with any

combination of voice and controller settings - single, split and layered programs and/or MIDI configurations. And you can layer or split any

internal sound with other internal voices - and/or external MIDI instruments - up to four zones.

Effects

The PC88 features a comprehensive onboard digital stereo effects processor, enabling you to program reverb, chorus and other effects,

for a total of 48 different effect combinations.

The PC88 weighs a mere 52 pounds, making it one of the lightest 88-key weighted keyboards you can own. A large backlit 40-character LCD display tells you exactly what's going on. The unit has stereo outputs and MIDI In, Out and Thru (switchable to a copy of MIDI Out).

Please feel free to ask any questions.  You are also welcome to view and try the unit.

This keyboard is located at my home in Worthing (nr Brighton).  However,  I travel to SW London most days so can deliver it pretty much anywhere Surrey / W Sussex.

If you opt for postage and packaging,   please do not be alarmed by the cost as the flightcase (shown in the pictures) is included in this cost as it is,  in effect,  the packaging as I do not have a box.

HAPPY BIDDING !    Kirk....
