ARP/SEQ Programs
Sound programs designed for the Arpeggiators and Step sequencers. ARP/SEQ programs use filtered
KVA – Virtual Analog Oscillators - Saw, Square, Super Saw, Triple Saw and PWM, with extensive
support of Kurzweil PC3K/PC3´s onboard real time MIDI controllers.
For detailed description of the Kurzweil PC3K/PC3 MIDI controller settings, please see the
PC3K/PC3:Works – Synth Collection real time MIDI controller standard table below.
Sync Programs
Category containing leads and filtered programs with the oscillator sync. Oscillator sync is one of the
features available on synthesizers with two or more oscillators, where one oscillator restarts the period
of the second one, so they have the same base frequency. The timbre is then altered on the synced
oscillator by adjusting its frequency input providing sharp and metallic sounds.
Global Info: Detailed descriptions and listings of the PC3K/PC3:Works – Synth Collection sound
programs are provided as separate PC3K:Works – Synth Collection and PC3:Works – Synth
Collection sound program lists (PDF documents).

PC3K:Works / Kurzweil K2600 Compatibility File
Important note for Kurzweil PC3K users: The PC3K:Works – Synth Collection requires the Kurzweil
K2600 compatibility file to be installed into your synthesizer. If the Kurzweil K2600 compatibility file
is not installed, the PC3K:Works – Synth Collection sound programs do not work correctly!
Please, install the Kurzweil K2600 compatibility file into your Kurzweil PC3K synthesizer, before
loading the PC3K:Works – Synth Collection sound programs. The Kurzweil K2600 compatibility file is
available free of charge at official Kurzweil company website http://www.kurzweil.com – section
"Download". The entire installation procedure is very easy and takes a few minutes only.
The all PC3K:Works – Synth Collection(s) are provided with our PC3:Works – Synth
Collection(s) designed for Kurzweil PC3 synthesizers.
The PC3:Works – Synth Collection does not require above described Kurzweil K2600 compatibility file
installation.
However, we highly recommend to use the PC3K:Works – Synth Collection.
The main advantages of the PC3K:Works version over the PC3:Works one are more number of the
sound programs, better sonic quality of some synth pads, synth basses and vintage emulations based
on original K2600 saw and square oscillator samples.
