Following in the tradition of Kurzweil Artis and Forte, the Artis SE is a performance-ready stage piano that was designed to give you amazing sound quality, dependability, and user-friendly operation. This piano features an 88-note fully-weighted hammer-action Fatar TP/100LR keybed, as well as a complete array of controls that will help you inject your performances with all of the expressive energy you can muster. Loaded with the best sounds from Kurzweil's PC3K and KORE 64 collections, along with vintage electric pianos, clavinets, synths, strings, guitars, and more, the Artis SE is ready to rock the stage.
Kurzweil Artis SE at a Glance:Amazing sounds including German 9' grand, PC3 sounds, and moreDynamically-allocated polyphony for seamless performanceAmazing sounds including German 9' grand, PC3 sounds, and moreKurzweil has always been known for incredible sounds with depth and realism, and the Artis SE doesn't disappoint. A killer 9' German grand piano is the star of the show here, but that's just the start. You also get a slew of sounds from the KORE 64 ROM expansion from the Kurzweil PC3, with a top-notch selection of synths, horns, guitars, drums and percussion at your fingertips. On top of that, you also have your choice of award-winning reverbs, delays, choruses, flangers, phasers, distortions, rotary amplifiers, compressors, and more, as well as a dedicated front panel EQ.
Dynamically-allocated polyphony for seamless performanceWhile it's not a new feature for Kurzweil it's one of their best - dynamic allocation of polyphony means you'll never hear notes "drop off" when you reach maximum polyphony. So even if you're playing heavily-layered sounds with lots of effects, the Artis is selective about which voices to drop in favor of new voices. Take it from Sweetwater, you'll think this is a huge deal when you hear how seamless and natural performances sound, even with complex sounds!
