Yes it is more expensive and more time consuming for us to do it this way. And most importantly, it translates into that rich, full, glitch-free sound for which Kurzweil has become famous. It means no latency - the performance is lightning fast. What does this mean for the end user? It means that all of the processing power in a Kurzweil chip is devoted exclusively to sound. Our competitors use general purpose DSP chips commonly found in cell phones, watches and televisions. Simply put, our chips are customized for optimum audio performance. One thing which clearly sets Kurzweil apart from the competition is the fact that we design our own chips (called ASICs) for all Kurzweil products. Add in USB, flash card port, a newly designed keyboard action, and a new intuitive user interface, and you've got the next generation of Kurzweil instruments.

For good measure we included a 16-track sequencer and more effects processing power than our acclaimed KSP8 processor, making the PC3 a full blown music production workstation.
In addition to our renowned Triple Strike Grand Piano, the PC3 features hundreds of new sounds basses, drums, guitars, and synths suited for every style and taste, along with a collection of flawless vintage keyboard emulations, KB3 Mode and over 250 orchestral and string section programs. The PC3 is Kurzweil's ultimate performance controller keyboard, with an enormous collection of stunning sounds combined with comprehensive real-time controller functions. 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 PC3 delivers 128 voices of incredible sound quality along with a host of powerful, easy to use features.

We'll have 4 pole filters, improved osc sync, improved DSP generated waves, etc." Otherwise, the DSP will be a lot cooler - we're adding algs by the day. The only thing it won't be able to do is load samples. Looks like we tentatively will have the ability to have up to 32 layers per program! While it needed to be a basic system at first, we are hoping that by release date the PC3's VAST will look as or more impressive than the K26's.
Part of this was an answer to another post, so read on - it gets good I know you've all been waiting, so here is the info we can share right now, direct from Mr.
