All Technics piano sounds are sampled off of Steinway pianos. The
PX series is basically devoted to the "piano" aspect of the
instrument. The exteriors are simulated wood-grain finish (unless
noted), with a choice of black or mahogany color and gold pedals.
They also have the PR series, which belongs in the "digital
ensemble" group. SM is their add-on module of some sort. I'm not
sure what the PC series stands for, but probably suggests their low-end line.
