Anyone who critiques these boards on the basis of their out-of-the-box sounds is missing the biggest advantage that Kurzweils have over all of the competition: their programming options, that literally give the user an endless supply of customization options. Sure, there's a bit of a learning curve in mastering their V.A.S.T. protocol, but once you start dabbling in it you will never look back. That Hammond B3 (and especially Leslie effect) from the factory is so easily improved by going inside the program and modifying it--to the point that I have mine sounding better than any dedicated clonewheel out there right now--and without needing a Neo Vent or any other auxiliary effects box.

The rotary effect on the Kurzweils is just perfect (some tweaking needed). The Kx000 and PCx series are the only workstations capable of perfectly emulating the Pink Floyd's Echoes piano sound (which is essential for the show I play at). I've ordered a PC4 to replace my PC3.

This appears to be a superb product. But I don't see any point why I should buy it, except for the choir sound which is really outstanding (to me). My EX5 still works fine, and an old Motif ES is still on the "Want List". This is the same situation as 20 years before - there are great synths available, and they are and sound mostly the same.

@@samiam9059 I agree with you. The PC4 design is nice and functional and does not have to be artsy to make it "cool". If anything, I would change placement of Transpose buttons (move them away from the wheels) and Variation button (move it closer to keyboard).

I do not own a PC4 (yet) but just by looking at it it seems the wheels are way too high and far (I'm a thumb user rather than a index and middle finger regarding wheels) the transpose buttons are to close to the wheels and they should be octave +/- rather than semitone; Variation should be underneath the Volume along the other controller buttons and there should be enough space between the keyboard and the screen to fit the ribbon controller properly.

My only problem with this demo is that it's too short! I'm in the market for a new workstation, and checking Montage and Fantom with all their bells and whistles, this is a true sleeper. With a bigger screen and newer/better drum and guitar sounds, I'd definitely go for it.

Anyone who owns a Kurzweil synth probably already heard over half of these sounds. I wish they'd have delved a little deeper into the new stuff, like the 6 OP FM and whatnot. A lot of these sounds are just recycled from decades old Kurzweil keyboards.

Es realmente lamentable la pobreza de los tutoriales que entrega Kurzweil. El funcionamiento del PC4 no es sencillo de entender, y la marca no se molestó en presentar tutoriales completos, más allá de un manual (que se baja de internet) y que provee poco y nada. El instrumento suena bien, pero lamento haberlo adquirido. Los demos que produce Kurzweil tienen como única finalidad vender o promocionar el producto. No son tutoriales. Por lo menos deberían tener la dignidad de poner al frente del demo un tecladista competente.
