MP8 Professional Stage Piano

The Kawai MP8 Professional Digital Stage Piano features the AWA PRO keyboard action built around real wooden keys. AWA PRO action duplicates both the weight and the mechanical movement of Kawai's fine grand pianos. Combined with Kawai's industry-standard grand piano sounds, over 250 other amazing sounds, the massive 192-voice polyphony, great effects, and lots of controller functions, it's got everything you need in a stage piano, plus it has a USB port for computer connectivity.

The MP8 has 4 zones, with each zone capable of playing individual sounds and sending separate MIDI output. Each zone can be set up with split and layer and velocity switching functions for customized performance, plus you can save 256 of your favorite setups. You can individually assign effects to each of the 4 zones. Four assignable knobs control and edit reverb, effects, EQ, tone modification, and continuous MIDI controller settings within a setup. The MP8 offers a unique, assignable ON/OFF switch to control external sequencers, metronomes, and other panel functions.

The hammer weight is graded from top to bottom to replicate the dynamic weight curve of the Kawai EX Concert Piano and the bass keys are counter-balanced to create a more even static weight curve. The combination of graded weights and counterbalances give the AWA PRO action a remarkably realistic feel through all 88 keys. Kawai's Harmonic Imaging technology provides powerfully realistic sounds to go with the natural acoustic feel of the MP4, sampled from one of Kawai's acclaimed EX Concert Pianos. Comes with a one year labor/three year parts limited warranty.
