Grand Feel wooden-key action gives you the feel of a real acoustic piano
Kawai developed their Grand Feel used in the MP11SE to capture the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. With its triple sensors and let-off, this action gives you a smooth, natural piano playing experience. Just as acoustic piano hammers are heavier in the bass and get lighter as you move up towards the treble end of the keyboard, Grand Feel action is graded for each playing range. This fastidious attention to detail gives you maximum stability when playing fortissimo passages while giving you the delicate pianissimo control you need. Ivory Touch key surfaces further heighten the authenticity of your playing experience.
Harmonic Imaging technology delivers stunning grand piano sound
Sit down at the Kawai MP11SE and play. The stunning piano sound you hear is none other than the meticulously sampled sound of a hand-crafted Kawai concert grand piano, with all 88 keys painstakingly recorded and faithfully reproduced using Kawai's Harmonic Imaging XL technology. This proprietary process accurately re-creates the immense dynamic range of the grand piano, giving you a truly impressive measure of expressiveness, from ppp to fff and beyond. If this were the only sound onboard the MP11SE, it would be a fabulous value, but there's a total of 40 amazing sounds, including concert, jazz, and pop grand piano sounds, tasty vintage electric pianos, and more. And to customize your sounds, there are six reverbs and 129 effects, all completely tweakable.
