Articles about control keyboard:
Kurzweil Music Systems has announced the PC3LE6, the first of its new PC3LE line of performance control keyboards.
The LE line includes the sound set from the PC3, in addition to many of the PC3’s most popular features like Setup Mode, Song Mode and Quick Access Mode.
The LE’s streamlined user interface has been designed to allow for a quick learning curve. This new, interactive U.I. provides a constant stream of useful information to players; move a controller and the LE will display the controller’s name, value and the parameter to which it’s been assigned. (Example – Knob 5: 43 Reverb Wet/Dry)
The PC3LE line also features USB thumb-drive storage, 16 independent arpeggiators, 16 simultaneous Riffs, 8 backlit impact-sensitive drum pads and high quality 24-bit D/A converters. The 61-note PC3LE6 will be followed shortly by the release of the 76 and 88-note versions, the PC3LE7 and PC3LE8.
Kurzweil has published a page of audio demos at their site.
The Kurzweil PC3LE6 retails for about $1,300. Read more…

The Ultimate Organ Controller
This may be the coolest DIY MIDI controller yet.
Markus Berger built this life-size MIDI organ controller for Native Instruments B4 virtual instrument:
The goal of this project was to build a MIDI Organ Controller to play and control the Native Instruments B4 (II) virtual organ software. Just like the software this project attempts to replicate the ‘real thing’—the classic Hammond B3—as much as possible. All of the software’s functionality known from the original instrument can be controlled from this controller. There is no need to take a look at the computer display or to control the software with the mouse or computer keyboard at any time.
