I'm Max from italy,
amateur keyboard player playing pop music with my group, finally i approached to Kurzweil world.
I always used Roland, Korg (X50, Krome) and Yamaha M0x6 last years
First i bought a Sp5-8 piano to let my 8yo daughter study piano lessons on a real piano Keyboard.
i tried to play it with some difficult (abitued to soft touch keys) but slowly i start appreciate QUALITY of the sounds.
So i sold my Krome and right yesterday i ordered my ARTIS 7
I choose it cause it cost right now as and used Pc3k7.. and i understood most thing on Pc3K7 i don't need like sequencer, kore 64 etc..

So i still have ti have it under my fingers, it will come in 5-7 days.
Sincerely i do not know if i have done the right thing.
I was sure of the quite-complete compatibility from PC3 and Artis, but more i read and more i find free-sounds (just to start) only for PC3K

Hope to learn soon as possibile and find right links to begin download free sounds. after i Learn how to use and load and covert from PC3 to Artis, i sure will spend some moneys for good quality collections.

Good night to all!
