Keyboard and Controllers

The PC4 has an 88-key semi-weighted hammer action keyboard that provides you with a
piano-like feel. The array of physical controllers includes:
• 9 assignable sliders
• 9 assignable knobs
• 10 assignable switch buttons
• Pitch Wheel and assignable Modulation Wheel
• Tap tempo button and tempo knob
• 2 Transpose buttons
• Monopressure (Aftertouch)
• 2 assignable switch pedal jacks (supports up to 4 switch pedals with 2 pedals per jack)
• 2 assignable CC pedal jacks
• Assignable ribbon controller jack

Pedals (Optional)

The PC4 has four jacks on the rear panel for optional pedal controllers.
Two switch pedal jacks are typically used to control two-state (i.e., on / off) parameters such
as sustain, sostenuto, and soft pedal. A Half Damper pedal (also known as a continuous
switch pedal) can be used to allow for "half pedaling" sustain techniques when playing PC4
piano programs. Each jack also supports dual switch pedals, allowing up to 4 switch pedals to
be used.
Two continuous control (or CC) pedal jacks are typically used to control continuous
parameters such as volume and wah.
Your Kurzweil dealer stocks the following pedals:
• KP-1
