The action you love,
the sounds you need,
the control you dream about.
When you’ve built something in the region of 2.5 million pianos, it’s fair to say
you know a thing or two about crafting world-class acoustic instruments.
And given that we’ve been perfecting the art of the piano for over 80 years, it’s
hardly surprising when all that traditional knowledge and experience shows
up in our latest digital instruments.
From the moment you sit down at the MP10 you realize it’s something
different, something special. Perhaps it’s the sight of your own hands
reflecting in the tall fallboard, or the authority of a family name that has been
building exceptional pianos for eight decades. Either way, this is clearly an
instrument that demands to be taken seriously.
Take a little time to play the keyboard – gently at first, then really dig into it.
It’s all there, everything you’d expect from a master piano builder: the quality
of the ivory-like key surfaces beneath your fingertips... the smooth, consistent
movement of the long wooden keys, and the reassuring grade-weighted touch
that feels just like the real thing. Kawai actions are renowned for being the best
in the business, and the
RM3 Grand
in this new MP is definitely no exception.
However a great action counts for nothing if the sounds aren’t up to the
task, and today’s working pianist needs sounds that are highly playable
and very realistic. Fortunately this is another area where the MP10 really
shines – we’ve quadrupled the amount of sample memory and focused our
attention on nailing the sounds that really matter. Brand new acoustic pianos,
individually miked and recorded for classical, pop, and jazz, with three distinct
variations of each. Brand new EPs, lovingly sampled from everyone’s favorite
vintage instruments, then warmed up with the MP’s adjustable amp/speaker
modeling. And finally a selection of lush strings, pads, and subsidiary voices
for those occasions that require additional layers blended into the mix.
Straightforward, hassle-free operation is another hallmark of a winning stage
piano, because when the lights are down and it’s time to go on stage, you
don’t want to be second guessing buttons or thumbing through the owner’s
manual. The MP10’s control panel is clearly laid-out, with everything where
you’d expect to find it. Each sound section features its own volume fader and
dedicated effects, reverb, and parameter controls. The four freely-assignable
center knobs allow you to tweak multiple characteristics in real-time without
getting lost in pages of menus.
The action you love, the sounds you need, and the control you dream about.
