Gearank Recommendation

The PC3K6 appeared on our recommended list for Keyboard Workstations Between $2000 and $5000 from March 2018 until May 2020.

Overview

The PC3K6 comes with Kurzweil's Dynamic V.A.S.T. synthesis engine, that contains extensive libraries of existing K Series samples.

Aside from that, it is also flexible when it comes to loading compatible sound files since it's capable of loading .KRZ/25/26 sample files, WAVE and AIFF files.

Kurzweil has included USB Host and Device ports for saving user programs, setups and songs to a USB thumb-drive or directly to a computer, as well as 128 MB worth of sample memory for users to store their samples even after the unit is turned off.

This is a good choice if you are looking for a workstation with excellent analog modelling capabilities.
