Kurzweil PC3 LE 8

[Andrea]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a master keyboard to add to my live setup.
I basically need the master keyboard for piano/organ sounds and to control external devices.
I thought to the PC3 LE.
I've tryed the Yamaha CP50 but I was not impressed.
I'm going to try the Kawai MP5 and the Roland RD300 GX
My only concern is that the PC3 LE has 64 notes polyphony...
The other concern is the weight.....

PS: my budget is max 1300 €.

Any suggestion?

You could also try a korg m50

Do you need hammer-weighted keys? Kurzweil PC3 is 1290e in Thomann

The Kurzweil PC series is pretty solid. PC3X is the nicest one at the moment, but the other models in the line are certainly not a bad choice either.

I personally wouldn't go with the RD300GX tho. It's more of a digital piano than a master controller, and lacks a lot of the features you would find on more master controllers (good UI, more splits, more layers, nice synth leads, etc.). The RD300GX does have some VERY nice piano and organ sounds tho, so if you can deal with the systems on the Roland for your MIDI control issues, then it still is an extremely nice board in its own right.

Don't go for the M50. It fits quite everything except for great organ and piano sounds.

thanks guys
the kawai mp5 is good for external devices communication, you can have up to 4 zones and you also have knobs..
My main synth will be the motif SX so buying the PC3LE could be too much for me
I'm going to try the MP5 next week :smile:

With that price you can get a PC3 from thomann... In fact it's cheaper there than the LE version, so go for it.

Master mode in the XS is not enough?
