I have a Mark 5, same big-ass piano without the arranger features. Kurzweil has stuck with their proprietory 64-voice polyphony forever. Amazingly, I have never had issues with it and I really haven't heard complaints from any of the PC88 thru PC3 users either. Whatever they're doing works.
But yes, a Kurz arranger would be a real interesting proposition.
Actually, Cassp, if you check, the Mark 5 had
32 note poly...we always had a couple in the store, along with the other two.
The Mark 5 had a very nice piano sound (for the day, and still holds up well) and I remember the Jazz and Rock organ sounds had a rotary effect that was controlled by one of the pedals.
The action was pretty good , too...I think it was Fatar.
We sold quite a few Mark 5's, mostly to churches.
Amen.
