Keyboard and Controllers
The Artis has an 88-key fully-weighted hammer action keyboard that provides you with a 
piano-like feel without adding excessive weight to the instrument. The array of  physical 
controllers includes:
•  9 assignable sliders
•  6 programmable switches
•  A pitch wheel
•  A modulation wheel
•  2 jacks on the rear panel for up to 4 optional switch pedals or 2 half  damper pedals: 
SW1 (Sustain) & SW2
•  1 jack on the rear panel for an optional continuous controller pedal: CC (Volume)
Pedals (Optional)
As described above, the Artis has three jacks on the rear panel for optional pedal controllers. 
Two jacks for switch pedals, which are typically used to control two-state (i.e., on / off) 
parameters such as sustain, sostenuto, and mute Zone. The third jack is for a continuous 
control (or CC) pedal typically used to control multi-state (i.e., “continuous”) parameters 
such as volume or wah. 
Your Kurzweil dealer stocks the following pedals:
•  FS-1       Standard box-shaped switch pedal
•  KFP-1    Single piano-style switch pedal
•  KFP-2S   Double piano-style switch pedal unit (one stereo plug)
•  CC-1      Continuous pedal
