Great video! I'm on this situation: I already load my samples to every key, but I would like to add another sample for the aftertouch when I press harder and a 3rd sample for the Mwheel. How can I do that? Thx!
Thanks ! I d like to know additionally if is it possible to do this on PC3K after German Grand D ROM+KORE64 were installed already? Probably not or there’s a method to let it work in parallel or is it somewhat questionable at all?
When Kurzweil bought the Grand D expansion and sold it already built in as the "A" version of the PC3, it was also made clear that this is the end of loading samples into the PC3. You can just have one: Either loading samples or the Grand D expansion.
Hi, great video! Thanks a lot. You know if the same feature is available on the K2600 (not the sampler one) and what are the big differences (i know that there's no usb.. so?)
The K26 can also load samples. The synth engine has some features that are not present in the later models and vice versa. But you can load 90% of the old Kseries sounds into the newer ones. The newer have a higher fidelity sound, more porwerful FX sections, more voices, way more sampling ram and non volatile, FM engine, step-modulationsequencer and lower quality hardware.
@@KaffimusicHi Kaffi! I'm hesitating between a K2661 and a PC3 (all the 61 keys version). I know the specs but I seem to like the 2500/2600 sound better, but the PC3 has more realistic samples and better editor, a bit modernized. but I love those K2600 90s convertors and sound. I dont know which one to get. The PC3 still looks verry cool and good sounding. What would be your advice between these 2 ? I wanted to get a PC2r but its a bit too limited
@@kicksNCY PC3. Simply because you buy newer hardware that is more closer to the taks of todays standards. I understand the appeal of a "this was a mighty, super expensive synth" once with the K2600, but, it´s just very outdated. As a collectors item it might be interesting. Do you want to actually use and play it? Think about that. Look at the prices you pay for a good unit. You pay the same or even more than for a used PC3k that is at least 10 years younger. If you want to have a second opinion: Ask Dave Weiser. I guess he will tell you the same. Maybe... if you get one cheap. Well... okay. EDIT: I just checked. Everyone that asks more than 1000,- for a used PC3k has lost his senses. I found some who ask 1500,-. This is insane. For that money you get a modern PC4 with double the processing power. Sick. No question what to buy. I´d not spend more than 900,- for a PC3k. That was roughly the used price 3 years ago. Or even less.
Hey there, I currently own a PC3LE8. Don't know how much different this is from your model, but I've followed every single one of your steps. However, when I get to set every single sample's root note, whenever I play them, they sound high pitched or start playing different pitches at random. Any ideas why?
Sorry for my late answer. well, as Karol K already stated, the LE cannot load samples. But, it should be able to load the sound anyway, but what you get is just the programs that the sample (Keymap) is attached to. I can do the same with my PC361, with the result that it plays rubbish noise. But the programs are there. You can still have the benefit of using the programs at least. How you do that: go into EDIT, go to the page where the momentary keymap is selected (for this layer - but this is of no concern, since the programs only have one) and the choose a different one. I don´t know exactly what is inside the LE, but I´d suggest to search for the Clavi keymaps. there should be several. Take one that you like and then you can play those programs, with the difference that you use an internal keymap instead of my sampled one. Try the sliders (in that case knobs) and the SW next to the MOD wheel. Since the LE has a different controller layout, I cannot say how it works with the things that the sliders do on a non LE. Also, I used some FX for those sounds that might not be there in a LE. Good luck!
@@Kaffimusic Hi. I wan't to buy the PC361. It's correct, that it's not possible to save own samples? I can't find any other information in the www. I hope, you can help. Thank you.
@@edoimam9668 No the PC361 CAN NOT load samples. The "sister" PC3K6 can do it. They are pretty much compatible to each other with the synth engine, just the 361 can´t load samples. You will find information about those instruments on Kurzweil´s website. You have to look for the 361 under "legacy" instruments since it´s not sold any more.
I don´t know, haven´t used in in a while. Maybe... try in Admin mode? Try compatibility mode with older Win versions? Sometimes this helps. When I used it, also Win10 64bit. Sorry, don´t remember exactly. But as you can see, it was running.
Hello, I guess you mean the PC4? Most likely yes, but I did not work with samples on it yet. Just have it since 3 weeks now. But since the PC4 is downwards compatible, I guess it will load any keymap that is done for the previous instruments, too. EDIT, Update: It does.
It’s very pity you didn’t it in German or in Russian because all others cannot follow you😂 Otherwise: Meine Englischlehrerin kann das auch… That’s why I ll install KORE64 with GERMAN GRAND D.
Thx! Well... I guess english is the majority all over the world. Maybe if Russia wins the war, this might change. Germany has missed it´s chance some time ago. It was better that way, I guess. 😏
Honestly mate you could already write nice textbooks about these things on KURZ PC3k for community. Too bad it hasn't happened yet. Because there is still an interest and a need for it today.
@@Kaffimusic Ja, dann wenn Du möchtest, dass Putin nicht gewinnen tut, dann solltest Du auf Heizung, Warmwasser und Deine Lebensqualität ganz verzichten. Aber da der Westen gewinnen will, musste man für Kohle-Wassarstoffe,-sprich Energieträger, die Jahrzehnte lang aus der glorreichen Sowjetunion, und später aus Russland als ihrer Nachfolger, kamen,- nun auch „Liebhaberpreise“ zahlen, oder? Und Englisch soll dan dann etwa preismildernd dienen, weil Untertanentun Gnade bedeutet? Das kann doch nicht wahr sein hier!
Very good video - this is a reference for me from a long time ago!
Thank you very much for your video. I am excited to give sampling a shot now!
Thank you for your feedback.
very interesting tutorial 👍
Lol, thanks! I waiting for some flying saucer samples with wooshing and swooshing....and out comes a little clavinet.....very superstitious.....
I added a more recent info in the text below the video. Please read, it will save you some work. Works also with the PC4.
Hi! KurzFiler should create better zones if you would first set the root keys and create the keymap afterwards. Please give it a try 🙂
You are right. I added a note above and in the description text. Saves A LOT of work.
That's PC3k not PC3.
It wont work with the PC3 edit the title of the video.
that kinda sucks! i just got a pc3 hoping to be able to that. Luckily it was dirt cheap.
What is the memory capacity to import samples?
128MB.

Very cool, danke!
I can see that you have done the process on a PC3K. In a few days I will buy a PC3. Can I do all of that on a PC3 the same way?
No, not on a non-K.

Unfortunately : Kurzfiler.exe failed / Win10/64bit PC While .JRE _Java is installed / older versions cleared. Anybody solution for this ?

Does it work with PC5-8?
