Kawai MP11SE 88-Key Wooden Key Action Stage Piano

The top-model in the Kawai MP Series that was named “Pro Digital Piano Line of the Year” in 2014 and 2018 by the readers of MMR Magazine, the MP11SE has the most authentic keyboard, the most realistic sound, and the most articulate control in its class. This MP Series professional stage pianos are acknowledged worldwide for their outstanding tone and performance. With a class-leading Grand Feel wooden-key keyboard action, a masterful MIDI controller and a stunning selection of acoustic grand piano sounds, the Kawai MP11SE is the stage piano for musicians who will not accept compromise.

The stand-out feature of the Kawai MP11SE digital piano is its first-rate Grand Feel wooden-key keyboard action, which faithfully recreates the natural motion and feel of an acoustic piano. The intuitive panel interface with independent sound sections and effects, and a wide selection of realistic electric piano and subsidiary sounds make the MP11SE a great option for the serious piano player.

A strong 4-channel MIDI master controller and a triple-pedal unit add to its list of impressive features. Extraordinary sounds – including magnificent tone of the renowned Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Concert Grand Piano – are the final important elements of an outstanding stage piano for music professionals who will not compromise on performance.

The PIANO section showcases Shigeru Kawai SK-EX, SK-5, and Kawai EX grand piano sounds, voiced and miked for a wide range of musical periods and styles. A traditional upright is also provided for songs that evoke a feeling of nostalgia, or simply call for a slightly more intimate tonal character. And for playing in a live band setting, additional mono piano sounds ensure that the MP11SE will cut through even the heaviest of mixes.

The beautiful sound of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand piano is at the heart of the MP11SE, with all eighty-eight keys of this world-class instrument painstakingly recorded, meticulously analysed, and accurately reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms. Recording each key individually in this way – as opposed to stretching the same tone over several different notes – preserves the rich harmonic character of the SK-EX concert grand piano, and guarantees that the sound heard when playing any one of the MP11SE’s wooden keys is a faithful representation of the original acoustic source.

Complementing the MP11SE’s stunning acoustic pianos and vintage EPs, the SUB section contains additional ‘bread and butter’ sounds that add depth to the performance. Premium quality strings and soothing pads are ideally suited for layering, while the rich electric and acoustic bass sounds are perfect for left-hand splits. Finally, a choice selection of harpsichord and mallet voices complete the line-up, for those occasions that require a specific sound.
