Kurzweil ME-1 Micro Ensemble Module

ME-1 Micro Ensemble Module description:

The Kurzweil ME-1 Micro Ensemble module features a wide variety of piano, keyboard and synth sounds, along with strings, guitars, basses, voices, and drums - a total of 256 programs in all.

The samples and synth programming of the Kurzweil ME-1 is taken directly from the PC2 Series instruments, including a stereo triple strike acoustic piano sample, and new multi-strike electric pianos (both Rhodes and Wurlitzer). The Micro Ensemble has 32 voice polyphony and is 16 channel multi-timbral. A Global effects processor features the same effects found in our SP Stage Piano Series. You can choose from one of 9 different effects, along with the wet dry settings for reverb and chorus, directly from the front panel, or via MIDI (the effects are applied the same for the programs on all MIDI channels). The Micro Ensemble can also be transposed up or down, up to an octave and tuned +/- 99 cents.
