The MP7se is a must for MIDI, since it provides top MIDI implementation and essential sounds controller capabilities in any scenario.

Acoustic pianos are stunning and extremely elaborated, thanks to the Harmonic Imaging Technology a lot better than the Yamaha CP4 (I own one and compared them side to side).

I can proudly say that this is my best stage piano ever, the KAWAI MP7se. With 256 impressive sounds – including the renowned Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Concert Grand Piano – and a wide selection of high-resolution effects, the MP7SE digital piano is a perfect partner for any professional stage musician. Four individually-configurable zones allow for control of internal sounds and external MIDI devices at the same time – with additional fader control of keyboard splits and layering. Its powerful audio processor offers a wide selection of high-resolution effects.

The well-organized panel interface with four assignable control knobs and a large LCD display make sound control smooth and accessible. Its class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard action faithfully reproduces the natural motion and feel of an acoustic piano.

To meet this need, the Kawai MP7SE digital piano provides great sound, superb touch and flexible control features to pave the way for outstanding live performance. A versatile all-in-one stage piano is a “must-have” for professional stage musicians.
