Kurzweil's SP4-8 is
the modern successor to our
best selling SP88/X,
which famously combined
world-class Kurzweil sound
quality with previously
unheard of affordability and
portability. The updated
SP4-8 makes available to
more players than ever the
same sound set featured in
our hugely successful PC3
line of professional
keyboards, in an instrument
that is slim, lightweight
and extremely easy to use.
Good Things Come In Small
Packages
At Kurzweil, they realize
that many musicians have the
need for a keyboard
instrument that is both
compact and lightweight. The
SP4-8's enclosure is
slender, elegant and easy to
lift; once set up it leaves
the smallest possible
footprint, which means that
you, not your keyboard, will
be in the spotlight.
Up And Running In Record
Time
With a user
interface that's
intelligently designed to
make things as easy for you
as possible, the SP4-8
provides the features that
are most important, right
where you'd want them.
Create splits and layers
with the touch of a button
(up to 4 zones); select
presets and setups from easy
to access category and
program buttons; quickly
adjust effects parameters;
everything is laid out so
that you can be up and
running and making music
right out of the box.
No Compromises
While the SP4-8 is
the most affordable keyboard
that we currently offer, no
compromises were made, no
corners were cut, when it
comes to its sounds.
Featuring 128 hand-picked
programs taken directly from
our acclaimed PC3 line, the
SP4-8 delivers the
best of the best in every
category of sound, with our
famous Triple Strike Grand
Piano, classic electric
pianos and lush strings and
orchestral instruments,
along with top notch basses,
guitars, winds, brass,
percussion and drums. We
even included some of our
signature KB3 organs, with
all KB3 parameters
accessible via external MIDI
control. Furthering the
sonic pallet, the SP4 can
also load programs created
on our PC3 and PC3LE series
keyboards*; additional
sounds will also be
available for download on
our website. Its 16-part
multitimbral architecture
makes the SP4-8 a powerful
tool for writing and
recording music in
conjunction with an external
sequencer or Desktop Audio
Workstation.

SP4's DSP resources)
Icing On The Cake
In addition
to utilizing programs from
the PC3, the SP4-8
also features dozens of the
PC3's professional quality
effect chains. Everything
from flawless concert hall
reverbs and crisp delays to
powerful distortion and amp
simulation effects add
another layer of depth and
realism that can only be
found in a Kurzweil. The
most relevant effects
parameters have been mapped
to the SP's Timbre knob, so
you can customize your sound
without having to dive into
menus or manuals.
