SUPERIOR TOUCH
Developed to accurately represent the touch of a traditional grand
piano, the redesigned Advanced Hammer Action IV keyboard
adopts KAWAI’s remarkable springless construction, for a
smoother, more natural, piano feeling. Just as acoustic pianos
utilize heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the
AHA-IV keyboard also employs different hammer weights,
appropriately graded for each playing range. This innovative
Acoustic Reaction™ technology provides greater stability during
fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control,
to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
UNRIVALED CONTROL
As a MIDI master keyboard, the MP5 fulfills the requirements of
a professional stage performer, whether in the studio or on
stage. The 88 key keyboard can be divided into 4 independent
zones, with each zone able to play either internal voices, trigger
external MIDI devices, or control both simultaneously, for a
maximum playback of 8 sounds. Separate fader sliders allow
the levels for each zone to be controlled intuitively, in real-time,
with a variety of additional functions and assignments available
at the touch of a button, from one of the 256 programmable setups
to further assist live performance.
EXCEPTIONAL TONE
The authentic sound of KAWAI stage pianos begins with the world
renowned KAWAI EX Concert grand piano. Placed inside an
anechoic chamber, free of audio reflections, the rich sound of this
world class instrument is meticulously analyzed and recorded by
our Master Piano Artisans. The acoustic portrait of each note is
later transformed into a precise three dimensional digital
representation, employing KAWAI's proprietary Harmonic
Imaging™ technology. This unique process faithfully reproduces
the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano, from subtle
pianissimos to thunderous fortissimos.
PROFESSIONAL FEATURES
Studio quality reverb, and professional digital effects, including
distortion, pedal wah, and variable-speed rotary speaker simulation,
can be individually applied to each zone, and precisely adjusted in
real-time using 4 analog control knobs. In addition, this area also
provides direct access to a four-band graphic equalizer and
advanced tone control envelope parameters, and even allows
Continuous Controller information to be transmitted to an external
MIDI sound module. With powerful features such as these, KAWAI
is understandably gaining a reputation as the instrument of
choice among professional stage artists.
