What would be your recommendation for a keyboard (or midi controller / software combination) to cover Richard Wright's parts in Pink Floyd? I'm looking for a jack of all trades to cover such things as:Farfisa Compact organHammond organsHammond B3/C3Minimoog type soundsRhodes electric pianoEtc.Any recommendations?He used Kurzweil K2000's in the later part of his career. I think he switched to 2600's at the end. That line seems to have been discontinued. Is the PC3X the successor to the 2600 line?I'm more of a guitar player but am looking to expand my coverage, particularly of my favorite band.What do you all think?-K.
DBBut can you even load samples into that thing? I love my K2600XS, but would not have bought it were it not for the ability to at least load sample data into it.The PC series were always Kurzweil's 'affordable' line of synths / digital pianos. The PC3 sports some awesome specs, and it's a very nice and powerful synth, but that's just because it's 2009 and because there isn't a 'K' alternative at this point in time. Of course Kurzweil put the V.A.S.T and VA-1 stuff in there - it's not like it was going to cost them a fortune to do so.
If there were a K3000 launched at the same time I'm sure we could all agree that it would of course be in a different league from the PC3 in more ways than just allowing you to sample stuff.The old PC88 wasn't even a synth, IIRC - it was a digital piano. Didn't even have a filter cut off control. In other words, not comparable to the K2000 at the time. And as far as I remember, in it's review of the PC2, Keyboard Magazine described it as a 'MIDI controller with built in sounds.' The PC3 is a nice instrument, but it's not what a K series instrument would have been had one been out today. It's a PC synth on a truckload of steroids and a bunch of 'K' DNA stuffed into it. That it actually surpasses the K2600 in many respects is just due to the time that has passed since 1999.
It's still a fairly cheap synth - for a Kurzweil, that is. The PC series were always Kurzweil's 'affordable' line of synths / digital pianos.

Which is cheap for a Kurzweil instrument. I guess it's nowhere near soon. R&D takes time.
And I'm sure Kurzweil wishes to surprise everyone once again, so it's gonna be a wait, I guess.I love Kurzweil. The yes men hbo. As long as they come out with a real 'upgrade' and not a retouched K2600 Ill be happy, when I mean upgrade I meana bigger LCD, USB, drum pads, assignable knobs, full PC/Mac Editor, upgraded RAM etc. Etc.oh yeah and please include me that VA-1 that I already waited long enough for the real one who never appeared as a standalone unit other than the PC3X which I have no interest at all to purchase.We'll see.OFM.

I love my K2600XS, but would not have bought it were it not for the ability to at least load sample data into it.That option does not exist on the PC3.but once again putting SIMMs into the VAST synths is an option. They're still K series synths without it.and the PC3 is a direct descendant. The VAST engine has always been what defines a K series synth - regardless of what options it was outfitted with - and the PC3 certainly has that and then some. One of my K2000s has neither SIMMs nor the sampling option, and my PC3 is pretty much the same thing to me.just on mega steroids.I'm not an expert on all the PC models, but as far as I can tell, most of what the PC3/PC3X shares with the earlier PC models is the price point and the name.dB.
