Volume 1 for the Kurzweil K-series offers four distinct pianos, including a velocity-switched Kawai EX concert grand, a bright mid-sized Kawai grand, a Baldwin concert grand, and a velocity-switched Steinway D concert grand. Each is presented in stereo and has a full complement of KDFX treatments. Our stunning sympathetic string resonance effect is available for KDFX users. Dozens of piano programs are provided, including complex layers that allow sophisticated multi-sound performance within a single program.

The FM electric piano portion of this library uses both true FM synthesis and up to eight-velocity stereo multisampling. As with the grand piano programs, special care was taken to ensure that these are dynamic, highly playable sounds. Extensive real-time control is also provided, typically over detuning and changes in timbre, as well as reverb, chorus, and delay.

Bonus material includes a legato small violin ensemble (great for layers!) as well as solo and ensemble bagpipes. The bagpipes feature extensive real-time control over attack and release characteristics, as well as KDFX and ensemble detuning.
