Kurzweil PC3K6 61 Key Workstation

Full Description

Some of the Kurzweil PC3 series keyboards feature anti-aliasing VA oscillators, improved KB3 mode, amazing sound sets, 16 independent riffs and arpeggiators, powerful song and QA modes, sampling, unparalleled MIDI control, and lots more.

The PC3K6 provides 128MB of user-sample memory, which is made possible by a breakthrough in sample flash technology. This sample flash memory allows the PC3K6 to keep hold of user samples after a power cycle, but it also powers back on with zero sample load time. If you're looking for top performance sounds from a super-stable keyboard, the Kurzweil PC3K6 has it all.
