That was back before I had a real digital piano. Those are the only keyboards that I have experience with although I did have an Ensoniq Vintage Keys board that I think had synth action way back when and I remember hating to play APs on it. I think that I am pretty adaptable but I just want to know if it was hard to control those types of sounds with the "synth" keys vs. For organ and synth the "synth" keys would be fine. Sven, as for worse I mainly mean for playing EPs and Clav. Seems like everyone has already scooped up the PC3's. I'd really like to pick up a PC3 but there are great deals out there on PC361 blow outs. I'll see a used PC3 listing for around $1200 or so on Craigslist. Really I don't want to spend much more than I could get a PC361 for. Yeah that's the thing I see a lot of PC361's available but no PC3's. There currently seem to be PC361's easily available at the reduced pricing, but not so much for the PC3. One other factor that might weigh in your decision (especially if you want a NEW one) is that both have been discontinued, which meant a considerable price reduction to clear them out. Now, in the PC3LE series, the 61 action is semi-weighted like the 76 key version, so that above may well not apply (I haven't played one). One of the things that was annoying with the 2661 (or K2000 I had) was running out of keys, especially on the low end. I faced the same situation when I bought the Electro 3 - the 61 and 73 actions were similar - but I wanted the extra keys. I also use it a good bit for Hammond patches - although heavier than a B3 action, it still works. The PC3 is bigger, heavier, but a joy to play - it is quite adequate for piano (except for very expressive material, where the fully-weighted PC3X is superior), but still light enough I can use it for synth and key bass. When I bought the PC3, I could have gotten the 361. I found the acoustic piano sounds very difficult to play with any expression, although the Wurly and Rhodes were somewhat better. I personally don't like the synth action for much except Hammond playing, pure synth lines, key bass, etc. The PC361 action is a later, RoHS compliant (no lead) version of the 2661 action.
I used to have a K2661, currently have a PC3 (& PC3X). So the 76 keys would be nice but I'm trying to weigh between size advantage and key-action advantage. I like the PC361 but would really like to for it go down to Bb since that is about the lowest I go typically. I've got a Nord C1 clonewheel for comparison is the 361 action like that or like the Moog Little Phatty? I'd mainly be using it for other stuff where I'd be using the EPs, clav, occasional AP and synth pads, bass and strings. Let me just say that for something that is piano heavy like solo or trio type events I'll just use my Kawai. But occasionally I'll see one on craigslist for about the price I can get a PC361 online.Īnyway how much worse is the action on the 361 vs the PC3? If the PC3 is much better I'll just sit tight and wait for one to popup.
KURZWEIL PC2X CRAIGSLIST MOD
The PC3 is almost as long as my Kawai MP5 digital piano since the Kawai has the mod wheels over the keys. I was originally thinking about the PC361 as it is smaller and easier to transport.
Unfortunately nobody around here carries them. Looking to pickup something along the lines of the Kurzweil PC3 or 361 as a poor man's/more versatile man's Nord Electro.
