General
The Kurzweil SP4-7 is the successor to the highly popular SP76, which combines world-class Kurzweil sound quality with unparalleled affordability and mobility. The SP4-7 features the same sound set as the highly successful PC3 series of professional keyboards. These sounds are now available to more keyboardists than ever before thanks to this compact, lightweight and easy-to-use instrument.
Good things come in small packages
Kurzweil understands that many musicians want a keyboard that is compact and lightweight, but don't want to sacrifice sound, functionality or performance. The SP4-7 has the smallest possible footprint, which means you're the one who will be in the spotlight, not your keyboard.
Quick and easy setup
Thanks to its intelligently-designed user interface, setting up the SP4-7 has been made as easy as possible. Its most important functions are exactly where you want them to be. Splits and layers can be made at the push of a button, presets and setups can be selected using easily accessible categories and program controls, and effects parameters can be adjusted quickly. Everything has been made easy so that you can get on with what you do best: playing.
No compromises
The SP4-7 may be Kurweil's most affordable keyboard right now, but that doesn't mean they've cut any corners when it comes to sound. In fact, it features 128 hand-picked programs that come directly from its renowned PC3 series, giving you the best sounds from each category. That includes the famous Triple Strike Grand Piano, classic electric pianos, full string and orchestra instruments, as well as basses, guitars, wind and brass instruments, percussion and drums. They've even included their own KB3 organs with all the KB3's parameters accessible via external MIDI control. If that's still not enough, it's even possible to load programs created on the PC3 and PC3LE keyboards on to the SP4-7. Its 16-part multitimbral architecture makes the SP4-7 a powerful tool for making music with an external sequencer or DAW.
The icing on the cake
As well as programs from the PC3, the SP4-7 has dozens of professional-quality FX chains from the PC3 series too. You get everything from flawless concert hall reverbs and sharp delays to powerful distortion and amp simulation effects to add extra depth and realism to your sound. The most popular effects parameters have been mapped to the Timbre knob so that you can easily customise them without having to go in to the menus.
Tips or comments about this product- The SP4-7 is only capable of loading programs within the confines of the DSP resources.
- Please note: this product comes with a KP-3 sustain pedal.

Dit toetsinstrument is geen centimeter breder dan daadwerkelijk nodig is om de 76 toetsen kwijt te kunnen. Dat is precies de reden dat ik voor dit model gekozen heb: hij past in de breedte van de kofferbak. Daarnaast is het instrument ook niet zwaar en til ik het zo vanuit de auto het podium op.
Wat mij na aanschaf een beetje tegen viel is de toetsaanslag. De Lightly weighted keys voelen plastic-achtig aan en behoren naar mijn mening niet thuis op een instrument dat als stage piano wordt verkocht, maar eerder op een 'gewoon' keyboard. Het brede aanbod aan verschillende voices maakt dit echter ruimschoots goed. Ik ben zeer tevreden over de mogelijkheid tot combineren van verschillende voices, zowel in keyboard-split als in dual layer modes. Het keyboard kan zelfs worden opgesplitst in 4 (al dan niet elkaar overlappende) zones!
Al met al een aanrader voor de allround toetsenist die vaak onderweg is en zich geen breuk wil sjouwen aan een zwaardere stage piano.
