The PC3LE series was originally developed and introduced to the market as a keyboard with a very limited editing capability and with some other production cost-cutting measures in order to compete on the keyboard synthesizer market. This has changed with the introduction of the OS update 2.00 and many editing functions are now available. However, the PC3LE keyboard sale price is much lower then a price of the Kurzweil PC3X flag-ship keyboard and does not include any costs associated with software development and support. SoundTower Inc. provides a free editing software only for the following Kurzweil keyboard models: PC3 and PC3K. The PC3LE editor software licenses and registrations are sold separately by in order to cover additional development costs and to provide future support and updates. All future PC3LE editor update are offered free of any charges to registered users.
