The SP8 “Built to Play, Master Your Stage” is designed for performers who demand expressive sound, immediate control, and rock-solid reliability, the SP8 Stage Keyboard delivers Kurzweil’s legendary performance DNA in a powerful, streamlined instrument built for the modern stage. Built on Kurzweil’s legendary V.A.S.T. engine, the SP8 combines authentic acoustic realism, deep synthesis, and intuitive hands-on control—giving you everything you need to command the moment.
Up front, there’s an 88-note hammer-action keyboard, with pitch and mod wheels at the top left.
The SP8 offers the piano tones, organ modelling, classic 6-operator FM synth and also vector synthesis waveforms.
And, there are more than 1,000 factory programs in total, spread across 10 categories, which equates to around 2GB worth of content. 200 factory multis make use of the SP8’s split and layering capabilities, and there are assignable knobs and buttons.
