Marked as Vintage or Discontinued. Improved item description. I don't know how to change "more images" - they obviously aren't showing a PC88. Also the description was from a way newer model, don't know what happened there. If anyone reads this, please check my revision and try to remove the wrong images.

PC88/mx OVERVIEW

Discontinued Model

Downloads and support materials maintained here as a courtesy to owners.

The PC88 is a self-contained portable keyboard that features quick and intuitive access to 64 (and optionally more) internal sounds derived from Kurzweil’s renowned ROM samples. It canproduce up to 32-note polyphony in full stereo, and lets you layer as many as 4 sounds at once. Built-in reverb and chorus are also provided, and there’s a sophisticated on-board arpeggiator for composing, performing, or just fooling around.

Thirty-two versatile MIDI Setups are provided to let you start making great music immediately.You can also use these Setups as templates, or create new Setups from the Internal Voices.

Furthermore, the PC88 is a high-quality MIDI keyboard controller, with 88-key weighted action, adjustable velocity and pressure (aftertouch) curves, two programmable on-boardwheels, four sliders, three buttons, and jacks for two footswitches and four continuous control pedals. Data on four independent MIDI channels can be sent simultaneously, using four different “zones”, each of which has its own key range — which can overlap with any others —and its own controller definitions, as well as the ability to be muted or soloed instantly. Other features allow merging and remapping of incoming MIDI data (listening on all 16 channels), and the ability to go instantaneously from one complex setup to another.

Finally, the PC88 is a versatile multitimbral instrument that can be used to complement any MIDI setup. With the optional plug-in VGM (Voice/GM expansion) board, the PC88 becomes a top-of-the-line General MIDI instrument, for use in education, multimedia production, games, and other exciting applications. In addition to expanding the PC88’s complement ofsounds to match the General MIDI spec, the VGM board adds 12 sets of drum and percussion sounds, and doubles the PC88’s maximum polyphony to 64 notes.

Standard model, length of body 19 1/4" wide, back and top laminated maple, brown shaded, black-white celluloid binding around top, highly polished finish, celluloid guard plate, in cutaway style with electric unit E1.

"The Höfner switch system of our electric unit E1 consists of the following part: 1 potentiometer for volume control and 3 slide switches , which, when very quickly operated by the guitarist while playing, make it possible to create the following different effects: When the first slide switch is being used, the second slide switch attenuates the treble notes and emphasizes the bass notes. With the third slide switch the sound can be reduce to half its volume, which is especially convenient for solo or rhythm playing."
