Kurzweil
SP7 Grand | 88 Key Stage Piano
Overview
Loaded with amazing sounds and features, the Kurzweil SP7 Grand 88-key Stage Piano is powered by the company’s next-generation A.T.S.T. (Authentic Timbre Synthesis Technology) architecture. Based on a custom semiconductor, A.T.S.T. allows for high-fidelity audio and streamlined sound programming while facilitating seamless velocity layer transitions. With 256 notes of polyphony, you’ll never run out of voices for even your most complex and richly layered performances. And with two gigs of factory sounds and 307 expertly crafted presets onboard, sonic inspiration is a button press away!
Whether you’re rocking Rachmaninoff or a blistering synth lead, keyboard feel is everything. Serious pianists will be right at home on the SP7 Grand’s Fatar TP100LRG fully weighted, 88-note hammer-action keybed, while string and pedal resonance modeling and half-damper support complete the illusion of playing a world-class concert grand. Add in a powerful multi-effects engine and a bevy of physical controllers, and you have a formidable master keyboard for stage and studio.

2 Gigabytes of Factory Sounds!
The SP7 Grand offers 512 multi presets organized into 13 categories and features our German “D” 9 ft. Concert Grand derived from the K2700.
Piano Focused
Fueled by the German 9′ grand piano samples found in our flagship K2700 workstation, the SP7 Grand A.T.S.T. engine provides significant advances in realism through support of higher resolution audio, smooth velocity transitions and a 2x oversampling filter.
Details Matter
The SP7 Grand pianos are further enhanced by the use of both string and pedal resonance modeling, envelope/velocity controlled key-off samples as well as half-damper* pedaling, together delivering a heightened piano performance experience (* half-damper pedal sold separately).
A Multitude of FX
21 effect algorithms are available to enhance the SP7 Grand’s rich sound, including reverb, BPM-synced delay, chorus, flange, compression, various distortion types, rotary speaker, tremolo, wah-wah and eq.
