#Kawai vpc1 pianoteq for mac

Such things have bothered me a great deal in building a personal relationship to many instruments in the past. A second program called VPCPedalCalibration is also included.ДЇor me, 'the package' has been absolutely successful! There is nothing that I do not need or do not want, like sounds or stub-plastic controllers.

The software is available for Mac and Win. Also the firmware of the connected instrument is recognized (and updated?). On the right is a look at the included VPC Editor.

Every shipment is a critical load and many customers are unmerciful at unpacking and - especially with large instruments - untrained. With such heavy instruments, 'return' is more than with smaller devices. I was lucky and got a new exchange model. Packing up and sending back a 140cm/30kg keyboard is no real pleasure (child coffin) - even on pickup. Not only that the cardboard and the Styrofoam were extremely damaged and partially broken - there was also a (electronicly) broken key. I bought my Kawai VPC1 as a 'return' for 1150.- (instead of 1300.-). Then you can deposit the 5 PK88 at your 5 favorite places and don't need to transport them!!Дў. For the price of a Nord Stage 3 you can buy 5 Doepfer PK88 - it has the identical keyboard. I recommend to anyone who wants to buy a new keyboard and is working with Max, to program his own layers and creating Velocity curves, exploring exactly which keyboard is installed inside the desired instrument - you'll pay the difference just for the electronics and design!! After all, in this case, a range of 3150.- Euro. It was evaluated only because of the aesthetic stimulation and the electronic implementation of the velocity values - so only about electronics and their own reaction to the design (!) - It was all about the keyboard! This is a complete failure on the entire test front (magazines not excluded). The Doepfer LMK4 + 88 (1500.-) is even better, write the next - I found out that both the Nord Stage 3 and the LMK4 + 88, as well as the 'cheap' PK88 GH (850.-), use the same keyboard - which is, namely the TP/40GH from Fatar.

An example: The Nord Stage 3 (4000.-) simply has the 'best' keyboard, say one. It is very hard to figure out which keyboards are installed in which instruments. In conjunction with contemporary software, there are far more nuances to play out than on conventional MIDI keyboards.ДЎ. The Kawai VPC1 has completely changed my assessment of MIDI keyboards. The wooden keys and the fainted sound of the returning keys - all that is just wonderful!

The own touch can be easily adjusted - in this process, the Velocity curve is a great help. The instrument is made of wood and metal - it feels really good on the whole - much like a piano - even better: almost like a (very smooth) grand piano. Also, there are no built-in sounds (thanks!) - Instead, Velocity presets for many popular software pianos here. Of course, the VPC1 has no controls, pitch bend, pads or something like that - it's a piano controller. Nevertheless, everything was done right, Kawai! It's the top - and there's still some room for improvement! Ok - there's the Ravenworks Kawai VPC1 (like AMG-Mercedes), a completely redesigned, modified VPC1, but with over в‚¬ 6000.- not quite in my focus. Strange that the pedal drops off in quality so much to the keyboard. For me (shoe size 49), the pedals are also a bit small and way too smooth. The VPC1 comes with a 3-pedal, which is very praiseworthy, but it is unfortunately a lightweight construction - therefore it also slips away - it actually moves permanently. I think with very little foam and non-slip rubber coating, it's relatively easy to make something. a synth is to be placed on the VPC1, it is advisable to tinker something, for giving the synth a stable grip.

Two 'little things' are usually negatively discussed: on the one hand, the really unfortunate On / Off Knob and on the other hand, the curved surface, reminiscent of the problem of the Fender Rhodes MkI - but much less extreme. Now only half as expensive as the market introduction price, the excellent Kawai VPC1 has become much more affordable. It has three sensors and uses weighted hammers. This keyboard is from the house of the piano maker Kawai. The VPC1 is different, it also has no Fatar (On/Off) keyboard.
