Here's what Kurzweil say
The Kurzweil SP7 – Stage Piano – Bringing the amazing sound quality and features of our SP series within reach of more musicians than ever before.
SOUNDS
Authentic Timbre Synthesis Technology
The SP7 is designed upon our new synthesis platform A.T.S.T. and marks a new era in Kurzweil technology. Built around our custom semiconductor, A.T.S.T. features high fidelity audio, streamlined sound programming and boasts near seamless velocity layer transitions.
256 Voices of Polyphony!
Serious polyphony to power your most demanding performances!
2 GB of Factory Sounds!
The SP7 offers 512 multi presets organized into 13 categories and features our German “D” 9 ft. Concert Grand derived from the K2700.
Piano Focussed
Fueled by the German 9′ grand piano samples found in our flagship K2700 workstation, the SP7 A.T.S.T. engine provides significant advances in realism through support of higher resolution audio, smooth velocity transitions and a 2x oversampling filter.
Details Matter
The SP7 pianos are further enhanced by the use of both string and pedal resonance modeling, envelope/velocity controlled key-off samples as well as half-damper* pedaling, together delivering a heightened piano performance experience (* half-damper pedal sold separately).
A Multitude of FX
21 effect algorithms are available to enhance the SP7 rich sound, including reverb, BPM-synced delay, chorus, flange, compression, various distortion types, rotary speaker, tremolo, wah-wah and eq.
PERFORMANCE
88-Note Hammer-Action Keyboard
Discover the SP7 fully-weighted hammer-action, ideally balanced for feel and playability, serving a variety of playing styles. Choose between two chassis color options: black and white.
16-Zone Multi Controller Mode
