General
Kurzweil's Artis 7 is the perfect stage piano for keyboardists who perform regularly. Its robust housing weighs just over 12 kg which is light for a product that has as much to offer as this does. With the best sounds from the PC3K and the KORE 64 among those on board, the sound quality is second to none and extremely diverse too. There's even a Hammond B3 simulation and Artis 7's sliders can be used as drawbars.

In addition to the sliders, there's a 3-band EQ among the controls on the front panel for adjusting the sound as you're playing. The semi-weighted Fatar TP8 keyboard can be split into zones or layers allowing you to easily add complexity to your performance. The sliders can also be used to control effects without having to dive into menus which isn't something you want to have to do while you're playing.
Sounds
This stage piano has much more than just piano sounds on board. Electric pianos, organs, wind instruments, strings, vocal sounds, pads and guitars are all among the range of possibilities. There are 256 sounds in all and special software can be used to adjust things like synth parameters. Kurzweil has a reputation for professionalism and the sounds on board the Artis 7 will only serve to reinforce that.
