Kurzweil pc3 patches series#

Here's some good reading on the history of Wright's gear over the years. The PC3 also can cover the hammond/leslie tones as well. I play several PF songs in one of my bands and the PC3 does an admirable job of covering the 'EMS VCS3 synthi' which PF used.

If you check the 'Pulse' video you see that both Jon Carin and Ricky Wright used them and Ricky also used a Kurzweil to cover the digital acoustic piano in the video (perhaps just as a controller, not completely sure).Īs mentioned already many of the analog synth sounds are included in the newest Kurzweil PC3 series as Kurzweil's VA-1 synth model (never formally released) is included in the PC3 series keyboard. In the 90's PF covered the non-organ sounds with the Kurzweil K2000/K2500/K2600 models. #2527940 - 09/16/13 01:51 PM Re: Pink Floyd - Which Keyboard?

I personally prefer hardware to software, so I recently picked up a little piece of Korg for a couple hundred bucks. I think there are a couple of threads around here which weigh the pros and cons of some of the newer controllers and VSTs available. I'm not sure what sort of a budget you have to work with, but I would argue that a used Nord might be a good start for the organ and pianos, along with a smaller board dedicated for synth to cover some of the other 'stuff and things'.

I think it would be a considerable challenge to reproduce the feel of Wright's tapestry of sounds with a single keyboardist in a live setting let alone a single keyboard. #2527880 - 09/16/13 10:26 AM Re: Pink Floyd - Which Keyboard?

Most of us don't feel that 'semi-weighted' is a good compromise, so we have two keyboards even if all the sounds are coming from one of them. The biggest limitation with a single keyboard is that you'll want hammer-action (aka fully weighted) for piano and Rhodes, unweighted for the others. The main bases to cover are: Hammond organ piano Moog synthesizer (mostly monophonic, but often multi-tracked in the studio) Mellotron With a smattering of polysynth (in later stuff), Rhodes, Farfisa, and Clavinet. According to, Wright used Kurzweil after 1987 to cover the bases other than piano and Hammond organ, so that would be a good starting point.

I would be really grateful for your thoughts.
