Kurzweil's new flagship PC3X is reviewed in this month's issue of Musictech magazine, receiving a 9 out of 10 verdict and is awarded the magazines 'MusicTech Choice' award. This award is only given to products that are both attractively priced and deliver great results.

With a sleek new look on the outside, and an arsenal of Kurzweil's latest cutting edge chip technology under its hood, the 88-note PC3X delivers 128 voices of incredible sound quality along with a host of powerful, easy to use features. The PC3X is Kurzweil's ultimate performance controller keyboard, with an enormous collection of stunning sounds combined with comprehensive real-time controller functions.

'The pianos are excellent and respond beautifully to input from the very playable weighted keyboard (you'll find everything from stately, crystal-clear grands to gritty uprights and blues pianos). The PC3X also has Kurzweil's Classic Keys ROM, which provides an excellent selection of vintage keyboards. Warm, saturated Rhodes rub shoulders with funky clavis, Mellotrons and some of the best Wurlis we've heard on any workstation. The keyboard action is as good for vintage playing styles as it is for pianos, which in our experience isn't often the case".

"With some excellent string sections plus indivdual elements such as piccolos, cellos and more, it's perfect for film scoring as well as adding a touch of class to your tracks. This is complemented by a beautifully recorded percussion bank..."

"The PC3X is a fine instrument with a comprehensive set of stunning sounds, equally suitable for live players or studio-based producers. It's great fun to play and offers hands-on control over sounds and live features".

9/10, MusicTech Choice.
