Kurzweil has announced the release of the new Sound Download Library exclusively for the PC3K line of Synthesizer Workstations.

Now available for free download on Kurzweil’s web site, the first two collections of samples and programs available in the library are from Kurzweil’s acclaimed Synthscapes and Take 6 Vocals.

Originally developed for the legendary K Series keyboards, these incredible sound collections have been brought forward to the PC3K series continuing Kurzweil’s commitment to non-obsolescence by design.

Many more samples and program collections will be provided in the near future further adding value to owners of PC3K keyboards.

These extensive sound collections were developed with painstaking attention to detail and recorded in some of the world’s best studios. They helped to build the legacy of the famous K Series keyboards and now they’re available to enhance the latest generation of Kurzweil instruments.

Synthscapes provides a palette of rich, complex digital waveforms, many of which are layered together and combined with analog filters. Bearing the name of the acclaimed vocal group, the Take 6 library features numerous vocal articulations, with a variety of single and ensemble voices.

The samples and keymaps used in both collections complement the PC3K’s existing sound ROM; they can be used on their own or they can serve as starting points for completely new sonic creations.

“These sound collections helped make the K Series the industry standard and now we’re passing that value along to another generation of Kurzweil customers”, says Mike Papa, National Sales Manager for Kurzweil USA.

“Bringing these past successes forward to the present is what non-obsolescence by design is all about!”

In the upcoming months, Kurzweil be releasing additional sample collections to the Sound Download Library online, including the Bass Gallery, Classic Analog Synths and Up From the Curb (percussion loops featuring Bashiri Johnson).

The sounds are available from the Kurzweil Website.
