It's interesting I have played K'S for some 12 years and I still can not find a board with the piano reproduction the K's have. Like many other I play my board may time on Sundays and during the week and I have had problems with the volume slides and 1/4 inputs but these were issues I solved my self being a computer tech. Tech support with company sucks and that's been on more then one occasion. I really wish they would do better because regardless of these issue I am dedicated to Kurzweil (K's).

had problems with volume

When I bought this Keyboard it was amazing I could get too many power for a low price. but after 3 years of use I've had a lot of problems. First I had no sensitivity of D# 5 and now F# 4... which it's a great problem when you play dynamic sounds such as Pianos and Strings. Now Volume it's not working, I only hear a very Low volume being unable to perform live. Besides, To have technical support with kurweil it's impossible. Like my friend down of me says:"a brand new unusable board".

Straight out of the box this unit would just shutoff, Tried to contact Kurzweil but to no avail. Problem I have come to find out during the middle of a performance...the power supply. I have not been able to find one that matches the specs so guess what, a brand new unusable board. Kurzweil SUCKS.

Great but has glitches

I have been playing Kurzweil exclusively for going on 12 years now. I have owned the PC1x for about 2 or maybe 3 years now, I have also owned the SP88, and 2 PC88's as well. The PC1x is an incredible value, and they are built like tanks, and ofcourse they sound and play better than anything else I have tried. My biggest gripe about this board (and it is a big gripe) is the stability of it's power supply and operating system. I am now on my 3rd wall wart supply for the pc1x and went through a couple on every Kurzweil I have owned. I take good care of my gear but I play a couple hundred gigs a year so they wear out fast. The latest problem I am havng is the unit keeps rebooting over and over again. I have taken it two repair centers both of whom siad they could not fix it and I should send to the factory repair in seattle, not a great option. At this point I want to find a more reliable brand but I just can't pry myself away from Kurzeil pianos.

After hours and hours of hard reasearch, I picked up a PC-1X. I had originally thought about getting a digital piano, like a yamaha, but for nearly the same price you can have excellent piano, strings, organ, synth, and so on! Im not kidding, the sounds are great, And the price is great. Of course it's not a workstation, or completely customable, but if your looking for a great sounding piano and more, this is your baby...baby...
