WELCOME TO THE MP8II
Thank you for purchasing the KAWAI MP8II. The MP8II Stage Piano features
256 Internal Sounds of the highest quality. The MP8II can also be used as a
MIDI master controller. On stage, at home, or in the studio, the MP8II has
been designed to offer quick and easy access to many sophisticated features.
BASIC FEATURES of the MP8II
4 ASSIGNABLE ZONES
The MP8II keyboard can be divided into 4 zones. Each zone can be set to INT,
EXT or BOTH individually. INT (Internal) is to play any of the 256 internal
sounds. EXT (External) is to play external MIDI devices. BOTH is to play
internal sounds and external MIDI devices at the same time. Each zone can be
played individually, or multiple zones can be freely split, layered and velocity
switched to create stunning and personalized performances.
ACOUSTIC TOUCH KEYBOARD
The MP8II’s “AWA Grand Pro II” keyboard provides excellent feel and control
like that found in an acoustic piano.
256 INTERNAL SOUNDS, 256 SETUPS
The MP8II offers not only acoustic piano and electric piano sounds, but also
other sounds such as organ, brass, pads and so on. All the settings of these
sounds, together with the settings to control the external devices, can be stored
into 256 setups.
REVERB AND EFFECTS
The MP8II offers 7 high quality REVERB types, and 22 different EFFECT types
to improve acoustical realism and enhance tonal quality.
CONTROL KNOBS
The MP8II has 4 multi-function CONTROL KNOBS, which offer real time control
of the EFFECTS, EQ, TONE MODIFY and MIDI-CONTROL CHANGE messages.
