Amazing sounds including German 9' grand, PC3 sounds, and more

Kurzweil 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 performance

While 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!
