You want the brilliant Kurzweil sounds that musicians everywhere aspire to own; and you need a great-feeling master keyboard to drive your MIDI sound modules. Now you can have both, in one superbly integrated instrument: the PC88 Performance Controller.

The PC88 has it all: the benefits of a 32-note polyphonic portable digital piano, expandable to 64 voices with an option board; quality sounds you won't find anywhere else; plus an extremely versatile MIDI master keyboard with fully-weighted 88-key piano action.

Check out the PC88's Performance section. Its 64 presets include Kurzweil's new, critically-acclaimed Grand Piano samples and other classic keyboard sounds — Fender Rhodes electric pianos, new Clavinet and harpsichord, rock and jazz organ, bass, acoustic guitar, vibes, and marimba. And, of course, there's the renowned Kurzweil Orchestral String Ensemble. 64 superlative sounds a working musician really can't do without.

The MIDI Controller section is designed for fast, intuitive access, with full MIDI functionality. The PC88 can transmit on 4 MIDI channels simultaneously, is 16-part multi-timbral, and offers 4 completely independent zones which can overlap. Each zone has access to all controllers: pitch and mod wheels, 4 continuous pedal controllers, 2 footswitches, 4 front-panel sliders, 3 switches (momentary or toggle), and keyboard mono pressure. The controllers can generate both positive and negative values for easy crossfading. There's also an arpeggiator that can be synched to MIDI and can operate across any or all 4 zones, plus specified key ranges.
