Has any of the notices prcis previous ones.

UTILIZATION

Finally, APRS over a year of research quality of touch is now, the MP8. While it is heavy, even for beginners Heavy trs. I find it a perfect ism and especially impressive.
APRS a while running, the keyboard keeps its characteristics but is more than ractif beginners.

Gnrale configuration is far from being simple, but reading the manual that APRS is very well done and well Retailer (so rare that it is important to prciser) any becomes clearer.

The selection of sounds, splits, overlays, EQ, effects, everything is arranged for a quick scne ACCS. The volume faders make it easy to spot when it comes to swinging sounds shuffled. Everything is rflchi to be as intuitive as possible. In addition, all the buttons light to see clearly even on the darkest scnes.

Petit point ngatif: activation of the choice of effects and reverb is by a long press on the button, it's not rev fast, but against the activation or deactivation part are facilitated with short support.

The keyboard is an advanced MIDI controller very practical live in the studio is one of its strengths also.

SOUNDS

The sounds, the second best point of MP8 APRS touch.
The sounds of piano, it must be said, are poustouflants. The modlisation is perfect in the bass and treble, a little worse in the Fully mdiums but enough to fade the pianists who swear by the sound.

The other sounds are sounds complmentaires or gadget. Nothing either unusable After a few settings, but it does optimized for use at the piano, and this is no worse. They are mostly made of good quality from the pads.

SETTING THE The sympathetic resonance, the frequency curve (dynamic), touch, volume hammer / wood, coupled with mcanisme Submitted REALLY hammer the keys on the piano gives the sensation of playing best upright pianos, see better.

The rest of the settings with the effects (delay, phaser, flanger, ... etc.) and are more or less useful. The reverb is INTERESTED to give depth to the sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some months now.
I like almost everything, or plutt, I did not find a major default. It is lightweight (38 kilos) and is around 45-50 kg with flight case, which is correct, my Kurzweil RG 200 home all by himself weighed 55kg.

I tried enormment of other models in the brand and competing lines before you buy, it is the only one who got the ds more beginners. Also finishing a little "vintage" is reminiscent of an old piano of years went by.

The MP8 is one of the most expensive keyboard in the world of piano numrique laptop, but it was worth every penny (between 2000 and 2500 euros now). The flight case distributed by Kawai is also excellent but a bit expensive (400 to 500 euros).

With the experience I would do this choice, a thousand times and eyes closed. No keyboard is perfect, but the approach that all of the same perfection.

9 / 10, although MRIT!
