VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The most impeccably authentic piano sounds I've ever heard on a hardware workstation..they're right up there with software! 90 percent of all of the sounds on this board are pure inspiration...the pads are lush & dreamy,the leads,pads & synth basses are unlike anything I've ever heard in a workstation synth....superb retro sounds that were so hard to find,up until now! Most of the sample-based sounds are excellent,but the electric guitars are pretty average. Feature: Came with a sustain pedal...sweet!The one touch save button for edited sounds and the onscreen feedback from the control knobs,are so damn cool!! PLEASE NOTE...THE COMPANY "SOUNDTOWER" IS COMING OUT WITH SOUND EDITOR SOFTWARE FOR DEEP EDITING. IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR. Ease of Use: It's completely effortless to get truly inspiring sounds out of this synth & it has the most intuitive interface I've ever come across in a workstation,in this price range. There are only basic parameters for sound editing like a timbre filter,envelope,decay,sustain,attack..etc.,...but like I mentioned above,SoundTower is coming out with editing software for the LE-series. Quality: The most rock solid keyboard to have ever come out of China-incredible!Smooth controls,superb semi-weighted full size keys and lightening fast on screen functioning...I have never seen anything like it before! Value: One of the best overall values out there! Manufacturer Support: I had a problem updating to the current OS because I was using AlZip to decompress the files,but Kurzweil support is very knowledgeable & eager to help & resolved my problem quickly. Be sure to uninstall your AlZip if you use it,because you need to install the current OS update,as the old factory OS is a bit unstable and the sequencer will lock up in the old version. The OS update installation is very simple,BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY,in order for the update to work. The Wow Factor: An absolutely beautiful keyboard on the outside,with amazingly fast & simple onscreen menus and the BEST layout of knobs & buttons I've ever seen in workstation! Overall: I probably won't be using my computer software,nor my Korg M3 for a long while,because this keyboard has so much of what I've been looking for and I need to spend some quality time with it.

Back to Product Information
Sound: The best sounding entry level workstation currently on the market. It truly is inspiring to play. Feature: Included a sustain pedal. Has awesome controllable filters. Wish there was a PC program to edit the sound patches. There is no onboard editing. Ease of Use: Learning curve is minimal, compared to other Kurzweil products. Quality: Built like a tank. Keybed feels great and is sturdy. Doesn't clank around like other workstations I've played. Value: It may be on the higher priced end of the entry level market, but you get what you pay for. Every dollar is accounted for on this one. Manufacturer Support: Dave is on the forums daily responding to posts, haven't had to use the phone for anything yet. The Wow Factor: If you want a flashy bling bling keyboard, get a Fantom G. If you'd rather have your money under the hood, get the Kurzweil. Overall: I'd give it a 10 if there was PC sound editing librarian software ;) Maybe some day there will be?

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
