Introduction
Greetings. Your new PC3 offers amazing acoustic, electric, and synthesizer sounds, combined
with advanced programming features that will let you create almost any sound you can
imagine. The PC3 comes loaded with 64 MB of ROM sounds, powered by Kurzweil’s newest
custom chip set – cutting edge technology that nobody else has. In addition to the great sounds
and programming features, the PC3 is fully equipped with performance features you’ll use at
every gig. For example, there are nine conveniently situated sliders for accurately emulating the
drawbars on a tone wheel organ such as a Hammond B3™. And the PC3’s 24 dedicated sound
select buttons, along with its Quick Access banks will let you instantly choose and change
sounds whenever you like.
If you’ve used other Kurzweil gear, you’ll have no trouble getting up and running quickly. Bear
in mind, however, that the PC3’s beauties are more than skin-deep; you’ll want to read this
manual, as well as the materials at the
www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com website to take full
advantage of your instrument.

Check for new documentation and operating system upgrades before you start using your
instrument. When new software is available for the PC3, it will be posted at
www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com . You’ll use the PC3’s Boot Loader (described in this manual)
to upgrade your instrument to use the new software.
