The Kurzweil PC3K8 at NAMM 2012 

KORE 64 adds over 300 new programs, including stunning new Synths, Electric Guitars, Horns, Drums and Percussion. With KORE 64 installed, the PC3/K built-in program library now totals over 1400 presets!

The KORE 64 ROM option represents a complete expansion and reimagining of the PC3 and PC3K's sonic potential (not for the PC3LE). Pushing the limits of V.A.S.T. synthesis for both realistic and experimental electronic sounds, KORE 64 adds over 300 new programs, including stunning new Synths, Electric Guitars, Horns, Drums and Percussion. With KORE 64 installed, the PC3/K built-in program library now totals over 1400 presets!

Can you go from one sound to another with a smooth transition. The first sounds stays playing while the other sound comes in.

Can you access the sounds from foot pedal.

unfortunately this video doesn't show how good this instrument really sounds. I've got the PC3K6 with Kore 64 Pretty amazing. They should have ran it direct rather than picking it up through a mic

Does Kurweil keep coming out with new sounds all the time.

Can I load in wave files sounds of my own.

I think you are wrong on the sound there. I belive this is recorded through a PA-system, which rarely has quality speakers. Check this link out instead to hear a proper recorded sound: /watch?v=acJDF27k5WA&list=FLmYBDCAgDT_QaifW5LwvtNA&index=9&feature=plpp_video

Synths sound thin. Kurzweil need to do a complete update.

You cannot on the LE8 but you can on the PC3K8

Chris like your Demo of the Kurzweil. Can you tell me, the sound @ 4:45 ,the Yamaha CS-80 sound. Is that a stock patch or did you build that? If so what are the layers that you used? I have the PC3K7.

Would ne nice to hook the Roland Integra 7 to it aswell for over 6000 sounds.

Yes! :-)

If i can load in wave files (complete songs in this case), where will they reside in the machine to be accessed, and can I play the piano patch over it? I'm about ready to pull the trigger on this or the Motif XF and i need to resolve a couple of questions. Thank you in advance for your response. :-)

Those software synths can't come close to the Kurzweil of the Roland Jupiter 80.

Just wait till it breaks and you have to get it serviced. If you get lucky there might be an authorized service center in your area. Otherwise get ready for lots of shipping costs or a long drive. Very poor customer service from Kurzweil.

What an ugly synth with Basic sounds & a wedding singer performance. It's no wonder they're mentioning Moog to get it some notice.

LOL. No.

So bad musician :))
