KURZWEIL MPS10 DIGITAL PIANO WITH LEGS
Kurzweil may be an unfamiliar name to some but you may be intrigued to know that Kurzweil Music Systems was founded in America in 1982 by Stevie Wonder, Raymond Kurzweil and Bruce Cichowlas with the aim to produce cutting edge electronic musical instruments of the highest level.
Raymond Kurzweil was a developer of reading machines for the blind and their new company used many of the technologies originally designed for reading machines and adapted them to musical purposes. They released their first instrument, the K250 in 1983 and have continued producing new instruments ever since. While the company has changed ownership, Raymond Kurzweil remains as Chief Strategy Officer of Kurzweil Music Systems.
The Kurzweil MPS10 is a superb – yet affordable digital piano equally suited to home, studio or stage use. Featuring 88 recording quality sounds, the performance from the highly acclaimed PC3 Series keyboard is exceptional.
Included are 10 world-class acoustic pianos, incorporating Kurzweil’s renowned “Triple Strike” Grand Piano samples. In addition, Kurzweil has re-created 24 celebrated vintage electric pianos & organs sampled and modeled with amazing realism. Onboard are many solo and orchestral instruments including vocals, choirs, guitar, bass and drums.
Also included are 78 rhythm backgrounds in a variety of styles.
All of your sounds and rhythms can be stored to one of the 3 favorite preset buttons. The “Easy Play” sequencer makes recording simple with the added convenience of storing up to 9 songs to the MPS10 user presets. Layer 2 sounds, split, transpose, pitch, touch sensitivity and preset effects are all included.
A matching, furniture style stand is sold separately perfectly integrating the MSP10 into any contemporary home environment. Kurzweil have designed the stand to be easily removed for situations where the MSP10 is required for portable or on-stage use.
Whether being used as a portable keyboard or on the stand, the Kurzweil MPS10 is a lightweight and versatile digital piano for the on-the go-musician.
