Kurzweil PC361 - 61-Key Performance Controller, Synth, & Workstation Keyboard

The PC361 from Kurzweil is a 61-key performance controller, synthesizer, and workstation keyboard with over 850 instruments, effects, arpeggiators, and a built-in sequencer. It provides stunningly realistic orchestral instruments, pianos, organs, synths, drums, basses, and more. The PC361 features custom designed ASICs chips that are optimized for sound, which makes the instruments incredibly responsive and rich sounding.

For the active keyboardist playing in bands, solo performances, and in ensembles, the PC361 provides particularly good sounding vintage keys, organs, and synths. While most of the sounds are sample-based, the PC361 also performs modeling for the KVA synth and the KB3 organ. Every drawbar on its organs gets its own dedicated hardware fader. The KVA synth can layer its virtual analog tones with sampled layers for deep hybrid sounds.

You can have up to 16 insert effects in addition to the PC361's global master effects. There is a lot of flexibility in how you can chain effects together and distribute them among its 16 multitimbral channels. Any layer in a patch can send its output into any other layer's signal chain. For gigging or recording, band rehearsals or scoring a film, the PC361 offers loads of useful instruments with a user-friendly and ultimately flexible workflow.
