76-note Professional Keyboard.
Forte 7
The Kurzweil Forte 7 is the most advanced keyboard to ever wear the
Kurzweil logo - now in a more portable 76-note, fully-weighted package.
With 16GB of hand-selected sounds, KB3 real tone organs, deep editing
capabilities and intuitive control, the Kurzweil Forte 7 is perfect for
performers.
16GB of Sounds
The Kurzweil Forte 7 features new, hand-selected German and vintage
Japanese concert grand pianos, as well as new Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clav,
Harpsichord, Orchestral Percussion, Celeste, Glockenspiel, Chimes, Bells
and Crotales along with a wide selection of sounds from the acclaimed PC3
and KORE 64 expansion, all delivered with unprecedented expressiveness and
an obsessive attention to detail. Flash-Play provides the Forte 7 with a
staggering amount of horse-power; 16 GB sample content with zero-loading
time, heaping mounds of powerful DSP and ultrafast performance. Every sound
within the Forte 7 is perfectly matched to its 76-note fully-weighted
Italian hammer-action keyboard with aftertouch.
