Kawai MP7SE 88-Key Stage Piano

The MP7SE’s class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard delivers one of the most authentic playing experiences available in a stage piano. However, a great action counts for almost nothing if the sound quality doesn’t measure up. Fortunately, superb sound is another area where the MP7SE truly shines, with premium voices that cover a stage performer’s ever need.

Stunning acoustic pianos, cherished vintage EPs, classic tonewheel organs, and a wide range of other inspiring subsidiary voices. The flexible MP7SE features more sample memory than all of its predecessors combined, with a powerful digital signal processor providing some of the most realistic reverbs, resonances, and effects ever heard in a portable stage board.

The PIANO category 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 MP7SE will cut through even the heaviest of mixes.

When playing a fine piano, the amount of pressure applied to the keyboard affects not only the volume of the sound produced, but also the unique tonal character of each note. Therefore, in order to construct a realistic acoustic portrait of the SK-EX concert grand piano, not only is each key recorded individually, but also at various different volume levels, ranging from gentle pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo. The MP7SE offers a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with Harmonic Imaging XL technology ensuring smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the entire dynamic range.
