kurzweil
« on: May 06, 2006, 12:14:41 AM »
hey even though we have boards out like the motif and fantom with good piano sounds people tell me that kurzweil actually has the best piano sounds but where im stuck at is most of there boards including the new ones only have 48 polyphony how is it possible to match up against the motif or fantom they have 128 polyphony

I have a kurzweil sp88x. the pianos are good but not as great as the motif-es or fantom-x. Sound is important to me. :)

To tell you the truth I'm looking into buying an SP-88.

I have. In my church we have a motif-es6. The pianos are full and alive. The rhodes are really good. I tried the fantomx8 in guitar center and it also sounds good. I read that the fantomX's piano is four way dynamic switch. Which gives you more piano expression. The motif-es is only three. The kurz sp88 has only one. Try them all, which ever one sounds good to you then go for it.

Glad you can make a decision. :) Another thing before buying check out some user reviews of these keyboards at harmonycentral.com. Good luck! God bless you! :D

I play a Yamaha Motif ES 8 at one church, an S90 at another, but I own a Kurzweil K2500XS.  Kurzweil is most user-friendly board I have used with the best piano sounds - in my opinion.  The S90 has more polyphany, but the notes cut off sooner than the notes on my Kurzweil.  I still think that Kurzweil is the best, even though their boards aren't manufactured as much as the past.
