Kurzweil SP6 88-key Stage Piano
Rediscover the Joy of Playing
Whether you're rocking Rachmaninoff or a blistering synth lead, keyboard feel is everything. As your fingers glide across the Kurzweil SP6's 88 weighted-hammer-action keys, you're rediscovering the joy of playing. The sonic performance is brilliant across the board; from the high-definition Japanese C7, German D, and Triple Strike acoustic concert grands, to electric piano, clavinet, harpsichord, celeste, crotales — and more, including PC3 series and Kore 64 expansions. Add reverb from the onboard multi-FX engine. Mobilize any of eight arpeggiators. There are so many more powerful features, yet the SP6 is quick and easy to navigate. And weighing in at under 27 pounds, the Kurzweil SP6 is makes a great gigging keyboard.
Load sounds instantly with FlashPlay technology
You've got 2GB of killer sounds in the Kurzweil SP6, and the best part is that you can load any sound instantly. Kurzweil calls it FlashPlay technology, and it means you'll never slow down or botch a performance due to loading times. Kurzweil knows what you need to perform with confidence, and you get it all in the SP6.
Packed with powerful features — and control
When you're performing onstage, you don't need a stage piano that fights you back. To that end, Kurzweil fortified the SP6 with a powerful feature set that not only loads sounds instantly, it lets you navigate fast. The onboard FX Engine delivers a full range of editable effects, from reverbs, delays, and dynamics to rotary speaker simulation for your organ patches. Eight arpeggiators let you whip up compelling rhythmic patterns quickly. And to command it all, you get 20 fully programmable physical controllers.
Dynamically-allocated polyphony for seamless sonic performance
While it's not a new feature for Kurzweil, it's one of our favorites: dynamic allocation of polyphony. The implementation of this technology in the SP6 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 SP6 is selective about which voices to drop in favor of new ones. You don't really need to think about it, but it's a huge deal when you hear how seamless and natural performances sound even with complex layered patches.
