Subject:Re: PC3 vs Kurz KB3

I've owned a PC3 for the past two years. On the whole, I love this keyboard. The pianos, strings, pads, synths and orchestral sounds can't be beat. I was perfectly happy with KB3 until I downloaded VB3 and compared the two. Now, I always use VB3 for my Hammond sounds. Even though KB3 is good, VB3 is much better. Plus, there are enough controllers on the PC3 to manage most of what I need to manipulate on the VB3 interface. You can't manage all of them, because there aren't enough continuous controllers of the PC3 to match all the rotary "knobs" of the VB3 interface. But some things, I rarely use (e.g., edge and ambience), and even when I've experimented with them they don't to my ear make a lot of difference in the sound (at least for live performances).
