Kawai MP7SE Introduction

The MP7SE is one of the best-kept secrets of the stage piano world. Stunning Shigeru Kawai piano samples, pro-level master keyboard controls, and a great palette of voices to cover popular genres of music, all at a price below competitive manufacturer's instruments.

The new Kawai MP7 SE stage piano is a high-quality performance piano keyboard. The MP7SE not only offers superb acoustic and electronic piano tones, but also hundreds of great ‘other’ sounds which make this the ideal versatile piano keyboard for use on stage or in the studio. Handy real-time controllers make for easy sound shaping, and the bright backlit 128 x 64 LCD display along with LED panel buttons mean you’ll find this keyboard easy to use even on the darkest of stages! You can even add the new Grand Feel GFP-3 triple pedal (additional cost) for a life-like grand piano experience.

The MP7-SE is fitted with the acclaimed RH3 Action. The RH3 keyboard features let-off (just like an acoustic grand), and has ivory touch key surfaces which make it a joy to play over prolonged periods of performance. The triple sensors capture every nuance of your performance, and the counterweights ensure the return of every note is fast and balanced.

Kawai has packed the MP7SE with their very best piano samples. The flagship sound is that of the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand. This powerful piano tone has enough body to cut through the mix when performing on stage, whilst still capable of delivering a truly expressive performance when required. This is certainly one of the best piano samples in the current range of digital pianos from all the major manufacturers.

In addition to the SK-EX Concert Grand, there are samples from the studio-sized SK5 grand which is ideal for popular music. The EX Concert Grand piano sound is also present – this tone has become a popular favourite with owners of Kawai digital pianos over the past few years and we’re pleased it has been included in the new MP7 SE model.

The MP7SE allows recording of internal sounds to an external USB storage device (not included). It is also possible to playback pre-recorded files in .WAV or .MP3 formats.

The 256-note polyphony of the Kawai MP7-SE means you’ll never suffer from notes dropping out – even when you’ve layered multiple sounds and using copious amounts of sustain pedal!

There are 256 different sounds in the MP7SE covering genres such as pianos, organs, clavs, strings, brass, synths, woodwind, orchestral and more. It’s possible to layer/split up to four voices together using the independent keyboard zones, or you can assign a zone to an external sound source such as a MIDI sound module or another keyboard which gives even more flexibility on stage.

Once you’ve set up your sounds, it is possible to store the complete keyboard setup to a user memory location. There are a total of 256 user memories for storing your own setups. These setups can be named and instantly recalled during a performance.

If you need quality tonewheel drawbar organ sounds, the MP7SE delivers in this department too. It’s possible to create your favourite classic organ tones using the on-screen drawbars. Add the rotary speaker effect and a little overdrive, and you have a convincing sound of a screaming Hammond organ!

The MP7SE includes Kawai’s Virtual Technician feature for creating your own unique piano tones. Alter characteristics of the core piano samples including damper resonance, individual note tuning, individual note voicing, hammer noise, string resonance and more. Save your own customised piano sounds to the internal memory for recall later.

Beautifully Designed

The MP7-SE is beautifully designed to not only look great but inspire the player. High gloss polished ebony wooden end panels complete the overall high-end quality look and feel of this instrument.

There are 140 editable effects in the MP7-SE including reverbs, chorus, delays, modulation effects and even an amp simulator to add a bit of ‘dirt’ to your electric piano tones. The global 4-band EQ means you can adjust your overall tone to suit the environment in which you’re playing.

It is possible to stream MIDI data to external devices connected to both the traditional 5pin MIDI connectors and USB-MIDI socket at the same time. This means you could be triggering sounds from another MIDI-equipped keyboard whilst simultaneously playing a VST softsynth from your laptop.

The MP7SE is equipped with 1/4" jack audio outputs, as well as stereo line-in for mixing the playback of external devices through the MP7SE’s audio outputs. The headphone output is conveniently located, and there are traditional MIDI in/out/thru ports, as well as USB to host and device connectors.
