This video was about a million times more helpful than reading through the manual. Just a fantastic job of breaking down the functionality, by an extremely talented performer!
Dear @josue85: Reading a manual cannot make a novice sound as good as Sweetwater.
If only the K2700 had a nice big touch screen like this one...
Kurzweil underrated always had good pianos
Underrated? I think not bro
Never underrated.
@@jesusescudero6502 *To the general masses, it is. Learn to grasp context.*
I cannot believe that Kurz decided this was the instrument to finally get a touch screen. I bet the boys that dumped their tons of money on the higher end products are quite happy with them.
Oh my! Beautiful sound 😮
It’s beautiful
what a machine! - and such a talented reviewer!!
Thank you, amazing review.
This thing is a beast!
That intro sound is fantastic I can why you choose it to introduce this SP7 seven mean completion
The black panel + colorful pads + touchscreen remind me of the Pioneer Dj Toraiz SP-16! This sounds great, looks super easy to set up, would fit in with my Toraiz gear. :P Nice work Kurzweil.
Looks good.
This is what the Fantom 8 should have been :) Gratulations, Kurzweil! Usability, Sound quality, Functionality, Affordability - looking foreard to trsting one of those in a shop. All the best!
At 21:48. Just a little tinkering and twinkling can turn one into a big band sound. Amazing. AI can bring joy to those strapped for real music learning time.
My PC88MX died after 25 years of service. Replaced it with the SP7 Grand. Super by itself but incredible in my full setup with PC4 and MacBook running logic. Great video. Great video. Thanks
To Richard lugo6899: Links and data, please.
What are main differences between these two keyboards?
Awesome 🧡💜❤️
Talk about beautiful music, wow! Really nice. Great video, thanks 🤘
I haven’t heard anything back about trading in my Kurzweil toward the SP7believe I gave the information.
Wow incredible playing
Would have appreciated some demos of splited keyboard for example ac. piano with bass or electric piano with electric bass. Are there any bass sounds in it?
I just got this today. This thing has mind blowing features. I mostly liked the touchscreen. It’s same as a smartphone touchscreen. No difference. The touchscreen is so sensitive. I also have Modx+ and Krome but I needed a stage keyboard as a main board.
I really liked the piano sounds. The piano sounds carefully designed for classical music and stage music. As a keyboard player and pianist this is what I needed. Yeah acoustic pianos are really good but I didn’t like the rhodes sounds. Yamaha is better than Nord and Kurzweil for rhodes sounds.
MY ADVICES
- if you don’t care about the money, you should buy Nord stage or piano
- if you wanna control everything easily buy sp7 grand
- if you want original Rhodes sounds buy Yamaha CP88 then
- if you want 4 band Eq (so important) buy sp7 grand
- if you’re only playing piano sounds… it depends my friend :))
I own a MODX8 and looking for a stage piano that I could couple with my MODX8. I am not very pleased with the MODX's action. Why did you choose SP7 Grand? How are satisfied with keybed. I assume it is Fatar TP110, the same as in the Numa X Piano.
Terrific how much
Very interesting instrument, can zones also be allocated to external Midi channels, as the SL Numa X Piano does?
Hi Christophe, great question! There’s not really a direct indication in the manual if exactly what you’re trying to do is possible, but if you could give us a call we can go into more detail and figure out if this keyboard is the best solution.
Thanks!

Just picked up an SP7 Grand. Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the sustain pedal on a particular zone? For example, I have the keys split for piano and strings on top and a bass in the low register. I don't want the sustain pedal on the bass but want it to work for the piano and strings. I tried figuring it out but it seems like it's not possible. Definitely not a keeper if it can't do this. Not for 2k!
Do you take trade-ins., beautiful sounds and so interesting what you and how set ups for different sounds.
Where can I get a list of sounds that are on this instrument?
Finally kurzweil make a keyboard with touch screen. Waw
This is a work station keyboard, and in direct competition with the Yamaha Montage 88 however that costs around $4000 and this Kurzweil Grand 88 is half that at $2000 so which to choose? Very interesting.
I have an old PC3k8 that’s got some damage 😅 it’s a shame because it’s a beast, but I’m now looking at this when they get it in stock, and at a good price.. I was expecting this to be closer to 3k
Oh my. This is not intended to compete with a Montage or Modx. Not even close. No disrespect, just letting you know this instrument is nowhere near that kind of power if that is what you are thinking.
@@dmoss1285 it’s a Modx without the synthesizer power. 😜
I think it’s actually more like a Yamaha CP with extra layers/parts and sounds, but without the flagship keybed and action and the premium sample quality. The SP7 and CP88 are more or less in the same price league.
@@luucdentoom6955 That sounds reasonable Luuc. I just wanted to make sure the previous poster was not thinking on purchasing the kurz imagining that kind of power. Thats what the Kurz high end workstations are for.
I need a recommendation, what keyboard can I get by $700?
What is the difference between the Kurz SP7 Grand and the Kurz SP7 Stage (which is cheaper) I know the stage has a different keyboard and smaller screen (probably not a touch screen). I'm trying to decide over the SP7 stage or the PC4SE.
The other big difference that I know of is that the Grand lets you layer 16 sounds, while the SP7 Stage is 8. I just picked one up, and the screen is phenomenal, but if you don't care about the extra layers, not worth and extra 400 to 600 bucks
What is the best standalone sequencer to go alongside with this one if you want to go dawless?
Hi, thanks for your interest! There are a lot of good options for hardware sequencers these days - personally, I’m partial to the Akai MPC series, but you might also look at the options from Arturia depending on the workflow you want. Here are a couple links to check out:

When the spokesman said "Zones" I went blank...
Is this a workstation of recording
Way too much for me. I’d be playing with the sounds and layers all day and never get anything done, kind of like this video🤯. I had an old Kurzweil Ensemble Grand and that’s hat I did most of the time. There were multiple demo modes too, which I used to use a lot. Great demo Jacob.
Learn music.
will anybody help me? i just got mine and upon just starting it like the manual instructed, had no sound whatsoever. Tried multiple times to reboot and turn off and on again but to no avail. Something im missing maybe? also, not to happy already as the hammer action keys seem to be stuck together or something (playing a black key automatically presses the white keys below). apologies for bad english
@@steveglossop yeah I have heard of the same case. I'll have to figure out what to do with it now. thanks for your answer though, and best of luck with yours
Can it interface solely midi over usb? Since you might allready have a audio interface? (Like pro tools HD).
Hello, great question! Most keyboards including the SP7 can do MIDI only using the USB output.
Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
This man reminds me of Oscar Peterson and what a phenomenal keyboard
How easy it would be to work with such a screen with the K2700.👉
Looks like a great instrument, but no built-in power supply at this price point is inexcusable.
Kurzweil arranger il like
I have that same shirt haha👍🤣
Could I use this as a controller for an akai mpc live 2?
Hello, great question. Yes, any keyboard with a 5-pin MIDI output can be used with the MPC live 2.
Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater thanks for the reply, just to clarify so I clear, I can bypass the kurzweil internal sounds and use it purely as a controller for the mpc internal sounds?
@@markmaw8 Correct, in fact if you are only running MIDI to the MPC and don’t connect anything to the Kurzweil audio outputs, there won’t be anywhere for the Kurzweil sounds to go.

22:28 😳OMG!!! Can’t he switch off drum kit layer from keys??? Can’t he hear it? 😩
Love Kurzweil, but that glossy finish is a BIG NO NO for me.
Looks like well set up instrument don’t like the plastic, that seems more common in todays gear
The grand or K2700.Mmmm
I just wish Kurzweil would come out with a weighted Hammer Action 73 or 76 Key Keybed. I am still using my 15 year old PC1SE because it takes up less space. I bought the SP6-7 and it has the most awful semi weighted keybed I have ever played. Horible. Not a fatar TP80 for sure. I do like the new TP110 keybed and that is where Kurzweil should go wtih the shorter keybaords like the SP7-7 series.
totally agree, I need the 73/76 keys to just pull the trigger
Very nice, where are the speakers, auto for the left hand chords, harmony for right hand ? Sorry for all the questions , I have a Kurzweil -Mark 12 Ensemble Grand I would like to trade.
Hi jeanmccullough1064, thanks for the question! There are no speakers built into this keyboard. It is designed as a stage keyboard and to be plugged into an external speaker system. I am also not finding any mention in any of the manuals that lead me to believe that it has an auto-chord type feature with the left hand. If you would like to look for a keyboard that does have these features, give me a ring, I would love to help!
Drake Sobehrad, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800)-222-4700 ext. 3271, drake_sobehrad@sweetwater.com
It sounds really good. Looks like they copied the design of the ROLAND FA workstation.
Does the SP7-Grand have a USB to plug in a ThumbDrive to playback WAV backing tracks?!?
Hi Johnathan, great question. The SP7 does not have a USB-A port for a thumb drive - the best way to play along with backing tracks would be to plug the output of a media player into the ¼” audio inputs.
Thanks!

sounds really outdated. The screen isn't as responsive as told [and you can see the guy struggling throughout the vid]. A shame.
Not good for live playing for band if you will only be using this keyboard, I'd rather prefer the small workstation keyboards with 1 touch change setting, this takes a lot of buttons just to turn off a layered sou nd
I don’t know about this one… the intro playing was fantastic, but it sounds like it should cost $500.00. There are cheap Yamahas I’ve thought sounded better.
Your opinion.
If I was rich...all my Gear would be Kurzweil. My old PC3 LE still sounds better than anything else...
Get into keyboard making. It's been always digital piano 😏
Functionality: awesome!
Looks: horrible 😅
no where close to Nord
far better than Nord...
@@AntonisAdelfidis_UnderGround in which aspect?
@@zzush far better sounding and built quality
@@AntonisAdelfidis_UnderGround Man, the sounds are really boring tbh it's better to go for Fantom or Kronos incase if you don't prefer Nord.
@@zzush It's a just a matter o taste. I have been using Kurzweil for 20 years and are the most versatile and good sounding stage piano/workstations. Very few of the famous keyboardists use a Nord but many of them use a Kurzweil...😉
It's jarring every time you say "clov" You seem to be an American or Canadian. We pronounce it with a short "a" sound.
Awful intro sound and sounds, is like general midi quality
Absolutely correct. It reminds me of my Juno 106 midi'ed with octaves on my Casio piano played through a 30 year old DAW, really bad. Got better as the video progressed.
Lol, what is "midi quality"?
@@iamjamessmith Old early General MIDI generic sounds like those replicated on a computer in the 80's where a piano sounded like a cheap harpsichord
