KAWAI VPC1 PIANOTEQ FREE
I have it since one year now, i produced several piano tracks for MusicScreen (royalty free music library), and some soundtracks for 3 short films. Its greatest quality is its touch, and the different nuances it allows to give to performance, as well as its manufacturing quality. I use it exclusively for composition, and sometimes for playing classical tunes just for fun. You can get a cheap synth for the other stuff anyway.Įxcellent product and excellent price for a great quality keyboard. Now you just have to find another solution for your laptop and extra stuff.Ĭonclusion: For pianists who really care for the touch only. and the curved surface really prevents this. This really annoys me since I like hoard sheet music and other stuff on grand pianos etc. Some subtle buttons wouldn't even have harmed the "classical look".
KAWAI VPC1 PIANOTEQ SOFTWARE
There's only the power button and since you have to connect it with a computer and a software instrument anyway, I would have expected even some buttons to control the software instruments (why settle for imitating regular piano experience when you could have more?). It weights a lot and a isn't really an option if you have to bring your own intrument to gigs. Though somewhat expensive, you're only paying for the keys and with this product that's what you should be looking for anyway.
Probably the best you can get (until Kawai comes up with improved version) and probably one of the only keyboards that comes even close to being helpful for practicing serious piano repertoire. I've been happy playing and practicing classical piano for two years now with my VPC1. Hammering a plastic synth probably just harms your technique. As a classical pianist (hobbyist) I really need something that is close enough to a real piano that you can actually play the instrument the same way. I bought the VPC1 for one specific reason only: the touch. With that mind I would say the action is of average weight. But back to the keyboard, and this applies to ALL similar products(inc digital piano) the action does not become lighter when using the sustain pedal as on an acoustic, obvious point but be aware if you use the pedal as a comfort to make playing easier, it WILL NOT do that on this(or any)master keyboard. There are small niggles that many uses have stated, the curve top is something that can be worked around using larger rubber risers for example, and the music rack is best replacing with a floor stand, the rack, even if it was made better is too low for sight reading anyway. After my first review above I have settled down and can be more balanced here. AND the keyboard is going strong with no failure to any of the keys at all. Thankyou Thomann and your team! ONE YEAR ON. The key surface(s) are a good and the weight, balance and speed are 'there'!!! The three sensors allow a 'no stress ornament and trill situation' for the perfectionist. When playing the upper keys there is 'just' enough room so as not to hit the back, this requires a good technique but not 'an issue!?! ( Mozart and Beethoven fingering here). This was the keyboard ( instrument with Pianoteq 4) I have been waiting for!.
